**1/2 out of ****
Claude Rains is an entertainer named Maximus, who has a fake stage act where he reads people's minds in the audience. Fay Wray plays his wife and pretty assistant. Things become more prosperous for Max each time he sets his eyes upon another woman who inexplicably endows him with the ability to "really" predict events; he then becomes something of a celebrity. The woman falls in love with him and it jeopardizes his marriage. Worse still, Maximus goes from preventing tragedies to becoming accused of causing them.
I expected a little more from this thriller, though it was nice to see Rains and Wray together in it.
