Got problems? Need a shrink? Call an alcoholic reporter instead. Janet Ames is a war widow who deeply resents the five buddies of her husband, whom he died to save, although she only knows their names. She is approaching a café where the first of the five men, whose names are on a list in her hand, is employed. Her plan, whatever it was, becomes somewhat secondary when she is ran over by a truck and is taken to the hospital unconsciousness. (imdb)

Rated 05 Sep 2019

A completely unsatisfying and unconvincing melodrama about guilt and moving on with your life after tragedy.

The Guilt of Janet Ames (1947) does try to dig deep into the psychology with creative dream sequences, but director Henry Levin didn't quite have the abilities to make the emotion spring to life. I can see why people wouldn't appreciate this, but I can also see the appeal of what they did. Read it as a lighter touch at depression using imagination to force Rosalind Russell to get a grip of her feelings. A more approachable take on mental troubles. Almost romantic in its war dealing with grief.
