Shock (1946)
American film noir thriller.
A psychologically distraught woman is committed to a private sanitarium by the man she witnessed commit a murder.
In late 1945 Darryl Zanuck was on one of his budget cutting kicks and was looking to produce cheaper films. Vincent Price was offered the story of Shock and liked it and said he could get it done under 20 days with no interference. Zanuck agreed to the terms and Price and director Alfred Werker brought it in 19 days shooting time.
Shock was also the film that Vincent Price got top billing for the first time in his career.
