A weird film noir laced w/fantasy elements from 1947 which concerns an actress who has murdered her husband & wishes she could relive the events again hopefully to avert her fateful deed. Her wish is granted as we see a rerun of the past year play out & see if the crisis can be avoided. Most notable for being Richard Basehart's first film (I remember him from the old TV show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea & Fellini's La Strada) but being an uneasy mix (w/some dicey performances principally by Louis Hayward who plays the doomed spouse) the cinematic trick doesn't quite work & being it played during the New Year's Eve episode of Noir Alley on TCM & also saved by Eddie Muller's Noir institute, I'm glad it was rescued but this is purely for the noir completists out there.
