The Disappearance of Aimee

1976 · 100 min

A slow-burn, talky drama that feels like a courtroom procedural, with a melancholic undertone and a sense of mystery.

Overview: In 1926, celebrated evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson mysteriously disappeared. She turned up several weeks later and recounted the details of her kidnapping and escape to authorities. Not everyone believed her, however, and she was accused of having gone away to have an affair with a married man. A court hearing took place to reveal the truth.
