Undercurrent (1946)

Rich dude comes and sweeps a plain Jane off her feet and into D.C. society. She doesn’t quite fit in until he remakes her into someone worthy of the company he keeps. He’s kind of moody and definitely obsessed with his missing brother… an obsession she starts to share once he brings it up a few times too often.

Is “overcurrent” a thing? Because that’s what the tension in this film is...it’s right there on the surface, darkening everything in the vicinity. There’s absolutely no finesse here.
