	Movies - The Amazing Mr. X

The Amazing Mr. X, also known as The Spiritualist, is a 1948 thriller film directed by Bernard Vorhaus with cinematography by John Alton. Like the film noir Nightmare Alley released a year earlier, this film tells the story of a phoney spiritualist racket. The film (also sometimes called The Spiritualist) is prominently featured in Alton's book on cinematography Painting with Light.

gave the movie a positive review on the strength of Bey's performance: "I have to admit that I was quite satisfied with the movie as a whole. In particular, I think this is may be the best performance I've seen from Turhan Bey; it's certainly a far more complex character than the ones he was usually given."

Cast

The film stars Turhan Bey, Lynn Bari, Cathy O'Donnell and Richard Carlson. Carole Landis was originally hired to play the part taken by Bari, but she committed suicide a few days before shooting began.
