Customer Reviews

Do you know who I am?

I have watched this film several times and feel that you will also. The film is in black and white. Much of the story is narrated. There are several interesting actors playing various intriguing roles in this film. However, sometimes it's fun to think about where you've seen them before, like Richard Basehart, who played Maximilian Robespierre and Adolf H-i-t-l-e-r in other movies. I would not go into details of the story, as that is why you will watch it. There is more to the movie than just the story. Basically, Victoria Kowelska (Valentina Cortesa) loses her husband and house in WWII. She befriends a fellow concentration camp person and exchanges identities for a better life after the war. She moves to America (The house on Telegraph Hill, San Francisco) to acquire her inheritance, and everything looks cozy on the surface, but she has the feeling that there is something sinister going on. Watch as the story unfolds and see if you do not feel the same thing.
