High Wall is a black-and-white film, considered film noir, directed by Curtis Bernhardt.

Plot

A man, Steven Kenet suffering from a recurring brain injury during the war, appears to have strangled his wife after catching her living in her boss' apartment. He blacks out while his hands are around the woman's neck. He confesses and is committed to a county asylum. While there, Dr. Ann Lorrison is initially cynical about Kenet's story and reluctance to undergo treatment.

Slowly, she begins to doubt his guilt, and endangers her career when she begins to investigate the crime which eventually leads to another suspect. When Kenet's memory is finally jogged he remembers a clue that could prove his innocence, he escapes from the asylum looking for his wife's old boss Whitcombe. The doctor and patient meet outside his building and sneak in and question the man.

Reaction
