Shock is an American film noir starring Vincent Price, Lynn Bari, and Frank Latimore. A young woman named Janet Stewart (Anabel Shaw) is anticipating the arrival of her husband and attempts to check into a hotel. She and her husband have not seen each other for years and have planned to meet at the hotel. During his military service he was presumed dead, but actually was a prisoner of war. Unfortunately, her cable requesting the reservation never arrived. After the staff have heard her story, they agree to provide her with a room for the night. Restless, she hears a loud argument and goes to the balcony window where she witnesses a man striking his wife with a candlestick. The woman is killed. The next morning, her husband arrives and attempts to surprise Janet. Instead, he discovers her sitting on the couch, staring into space. She has gone into a state of shock as a result of seeing the murder. The hotel doctor is called, but he suggests she see a specialist. The specialist she sees turns out to be Dr. Cross, the man who murdered his wife. The events which follow are hair-raising. A great thriller flick! (70 minutes - 1946 - Black & White - 4:3)
