Whirlpool (1950)

The wife of a well-known psychoanalyst is caught shoplifting, but she is "rescued" by a man who talks her out of the situation. Soon, she's meeting him for sessions to cure her of her kleptomania. Little does she know that he has another agenda...

This could've been a tense ride, but it had a major issue standing in its way: Gene Tierney is just a pretty blank. She plays her part more like an 8-year-old in a grown-up body than as a woman who can speak for herself.
