A tight thriller with uneven "British" accents, My Name Is Julia Ross has Nina Foch get a job as a live-in secretary turn into a nightmare when the household attempts to gaslight her into circumstances that evoke du Maurier's Rebecca. Derivative though that is, it does create a Gothic mood, and otherwise plays more like Film Noir, with violent, evil villains, tense situations, reversals that help both Julia and her adversaries, and a good action climax (despite being marred by some rather terrible day-for-night shooting). Director Joseph H. Lewis has done better - Gun Crazy, for example - and here is sort of doing a poor man's Hitchcock as double-feature fodder (65 minutes? yeah, sounds about right). That means it's better than it ought to be, but also that it leaves you wanting more. And by "more", I certainly don't mean the facile "romantic" epilogue brought to you by the Patriarchy(TM).
