She's Julia Ross, damnit!

My Name is Julia Ross, opening in New York in November 1945. I just saw this Gothic melodrama (sometimes mistaken for a film noir because of its moody photography) which has a minor cult reputation. A predictable damsel-in-distress flick which is fun if not great. Nice to see Dame May Whitty playing a villain for a change. Interesting that, as a B-movie barely over a hour long, it still merited a little "world premiere" ballyhoo. A color lobby card follows.
