This film is a great tribute to the acting talent of Claude Rains. The Clairvoyant
is a rather far fetched story of a fake medium who has a music hall act with his
wife Fay Wray. One night he sarts making some startling predictions that come
to pass.
After that he's a controversial figure, but Rains discovers the predictions only some to him when June Baxter is around. Makes for a sticky domestic situation.
Yet while you watch The clairvoyant your admiration for Rains is overwhelming. It's only after the film is over that you ask yourself wgat did I just see?
It's nonsense, but Rains makes it work.
