Beautifully shot with shadowy black and white, `Secret Beyond the Door' is visually on the level with the best of Fritz Lang. The opening scene with the church wedding is shot in such a way that you know something sinister is about to happen.
Unfortunately, the storyline contains too many elements which seem to have been lifted directly from Hitchcock's `Rebecca.' I don't want to spoil the film for anyone, but if you have seen `Rebecca' then you can guess the climax of `Secret Beyond the Door' after the first thirty minutes.
Still, `Secret Beyond the Door' stands on its own. But if would have stood much better had the story elements been a bit more original.
