2024 movie #38. 1945. A psychiatrist (Bergman) falls in love with her patient (Peck), a man with amnesia who may have murdered someone. Decent movie but the level of casual sexism and harassment toward a professional woman by her colleagues was stunning. (

The new head of a mental institution is a disturbed impostor.

It's badly written in a way that is quite off-putting. (A respectable, exceptionally rational person suddenly, without cause, becomes an irresponsible, obsessive idiot, and we are just supposed to accept that. Because she is a woman.) On the other hand, I was engaged and entertained throughout the movie.
