Shockproof

“He thought he was shockproof!”

Jenny Marsh (Patricia Knight) walks out of prison after serving time for killing a man, and her parole officer, Griff Marat (Cornel Wilde), finds her a job looking after his ailing mother. Douglas Sirk puts the two of them in the same small house, one supposed to watch and the other supposed to be watched. Parole turns the question of who can be trusted into a matter of rules and reports, and the film treats it as nothing so tidy.
