Psychoanalytic themes turn up often in Mitchell Leisen's films, but probably nowhere more obviously than in this adaptation of a Moss Hart/Kurt Weill/Ira Gershwin musical, Lady in the Dark. Ginger Rogers stars as a successful magazine editor whose life is made impossible by chronic indecisiveness. On the analyst's couch, she recalls childhood memories and recounts recent dreams. All this is set to a costume spectacle--Rogers dreams in brilliant Technicolor-- with comedy provided by Ray Milland as her editorial associate and Mischa Auer as the staff photographer. Ian Christie (National Film Theatre, London), calls the film “a classic venture into the heartland of American ‘Freudianism'...with Ginger Rogers as the victim of an outsize ‘Electra complex'. Despite studio censorship and evident logistic problems, it remains a triumph of Technicolor fantasy and a bravura contribution to the Leisen canon.”
