A film noir-ish shocker in which average Joe Vince Grayson (De Forest Kelley) dreams he murders someone and wakes up to find it may not have been a dream. Based on the story Nightmare by Cornell Woorlich and refilmed under that title in 1956, this is worth it for the clever plot twists alone. (official distributor synopsis)
