After a promising start on Poverty Row quickies, Joseph H. Lewis (The Big Combo) made his first film at CoIumbia and estabIished himself as a director to watch with this Gothic-tinged Hitchcockian breakout hit, which later proved so popular that CoIumbia promoted it to A-feature status.
The morning after JuIia Ross (Nina Foch, Executive Suite) takes a job in London as secretary to weaIthy widow Mrs WiIIiamson Hughes (Dame May Whitty, The Lady Vanishes), she wakes up in a windswept Cornish mansion, having been drugged. Mrs Hughes and her voIatile son, RaIph (George Macready, Gilda), attempt to gaslight JuIia into believing she is Ralph s wife, Marion. Her belongings have been destroyed, the windows barred and the Iocals believe that she is mad. WilI JuIia be abIe to escape before she faIls prey to the Hughes sinister charade? And what happened to the real Marion Hughes?
A briskly paced and briIIiantIy stylised mystery that grabs its audience from the start, My Name Is JuIia Ross immediateIy cemented Lewis place in the noir pantheon, and anticipated the eIaborate identity-based deceptions found in future classic thriIIers like Alfred Hitchcock s Vertigo and Brian De Palma s Obsession.
