My Name Is Julia Ross (1945)

In the heart of bustling London, young Julia Ross, solitary and destitute, is on a desperate hunt for employment. Her only companion, the affable lawyer Dennis Bruce, has departed from her life, entangled in the throes of an impending marriage. A beacon of hope emerges when she stumbles upon an advertisement in a local newspaper, offering a position as a personal secretary to the enigmatic Mrs. Hughes and her son, Ralph. Under the scrutinizing gaze of Mrs. Sparkes, the employment agency's formidable matron, Julia is selected for the job. Her solitary existence and absence of romantic entanglements make her the ideal candidate for a long-term commitment in the Hughes household. Julia returns to her boarding house to pack her belongings, only to discover that Dennis has abandoned his nuptial plans and wishes to rekindle their relationship, encouraging Julia to meet him the following Friday. However, Julia's first night at the Hughes residence spirals into a chilling nightmare. She awakens not in the urban confines of London but in a secluded, sprawling estate by the storm-ravaged Cornish seafront. Two days have mysteriously slipped by, and all traces of her identity as Julia Ross have vanished. A sinister charade ensues, with the Hughes household, from Mrs. Hughes and Ralph to the most obscure of servants, insisting she is Marion Hughes, Ralph's mentally unstable wife recovering from a nervous breakdown. Haunted by the ghost of a woman she never knew, Julia is caught in a web of deception and impending doom. She realizes the fate of the real Marion Hughes, a victim of Ralph's cold-blooded murder, and understands the chilling truth: she is now both Ralph's alibi and his next target. Isolated and branded as a lunatic, Julia must unravel the twisted plot against her life before she becomes the next casualty of the Hughes household's dark secrets. Unbeknownst to the scheming Hughes, Dennis, having been stood up by Julia on their date, embarks on a frantic quest to find her. Will he unravel the chilling truth in time to save Julia, or will she be forever lost in the shadowy labyrinth of the Hughes' murderous plot?
