Minutes

Stanwyck, Robert Cummings, Betty Field
An
original and well acted Noir suspense anthology of dreams and
the supernatural. Three strange stories introduced by two men,
(Benchley & Hoffman), at their club. An ugly spinster, (Field),
is given a pretty face mask on Mardi Gras night that eventually
makes her beautiful. An attorney, (Edward G. Robinson), who
scoffs at fortune telling submits to his palm being read by
a palmist, (Mitchell), who tells him that he will kill before
the night is out. A high wire circus performer, (Boyer), continually
dreams he will be in an accident while performing and that it
is connected in some way with a woman, (Barbara Stanwyck). He
meets her on a voyage to the next circus engagement.
