Caught
THE STORY OF A DESPERATE GIRL!
Directed by Max Ophüls
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Enterprise Productions
A noir-inflected melodrama about a trapped woman caught between a violent, possessive husband and a new love, with mounting dread as her circumstances close in.
Wide-eyed and poor young Leonora weds an obsessive millionaire named Ohlrig, but the marriage is loveless. Even worse, Ohlrig seems to have manic, violent tendencies. Eventually, young Leonora escapes her unhappy life and begins working with New York City doctor Larry Quinada, who she soon falls for. Unfortunately, Ohlrig refuses to grant his wife a divorce, and things get even darker for Leonora when she realizes she's pregnant with his child.
