What Do You Think?

1937 · 11 min

A short, uncanny morning-after tale that quietly builds unease and wonder around coincidence and a mother's intuition.

Directed by
Jacques Tourneur
Genres
Drama
Starring
Carey Wilson, William Henry, Jeanne Martel
Overview
The narrator's voice tells of John Dough, who wakes up after a late-night party and prepares to go to work. However, a few interruptions, including thinking for a moment that he sees a woman's body in his bed, having his car key not work, and thinking he hears his mother calling, delay his departure from home by almost a minute. When tragedy strikes close by, John revisits the morning's events. A phone call from his brother in Chicago confirms how odd this morning is. Did John experience telepathy or was it all coincidence? If radio waves can carry a communication, why not a mother's love?
