Forget me not

Mirage (1965)

Based on a book by Howard Fast this thriller stars Gregory Peck, Diane Baker and Walter Matthau. Struggling with amnesia a man is threatened by a group he can't remember anything about.

This film works really well as a thriller which keeps the audience guessing as to what is going on for a long time without being frustrating. The resolution may lack some depth but that does not really weaken the film. There are good performances from the cast and the film does not become confusing which would likely have been an easy pitfall to end up in given the nature of the content.

4/5
