The Third Secret
Directed by
Charles Crichton
A prominent London psychologist seems to have taken his own life, causing stunned disbelief amongst his colleagues and patients.

She enlists the help of a former patient to try to get to the truth. However, the truth turns out to be both surprising and disturbing.
