Currently available on Watch TCM (until February 2nd):
Fans of film noir who haven't seen John Brahm's 1946 The Locket do not want to miss the opportunity to experience this hypnotically mesmerising drama. A previous recommendation here, The Locket is a dream-like journey crying out to be discovered.
Laraine Day, Robert Mitchum
