The Evil Mind ~ 1934 -BW

QUICKIE: I forsee a good movie in your future....

PLOT: (from IMDB): Maximus is a low budget trickster who puts on a fake clairvoyant act with his young wife Rene. Act turns to reality when, in the presence of another young lady (Christine), he starts to make startlingly correct predictions. His name becomes famous and he gets richer as he correctly predicts a train wreck and the derby winner. Being around Christine so much causes jealousy to flare in his wife. He only manages to hold on to Rene by promising to stop using his clairvoyance. But then he abruptly predicts a horrific mining accident with 200 deaths. He attempts to warn the miners himself but they reluctantly return to work. When the accident does occur, Maximus finds himself on trial as its cause. (Also titled "The Clairvoyant ").

SUMMARY: Wow, that's a good story and something different than your typical love/murder drama. Plus we get Claude Rains and Fay Wray in the same movie, so we can't go wrong. The jealous wife bit is somewhat cliche, but considering the times, it's acceptable for me. I love that the little old ladies in these films are the only ones who know anything. The zeitgeist of society is well portrayed in the contrast of high society and dirty miners.
