Actually, this might be the film the student is thinking about.  Whether or 
not you believe
repressed memories are fictitious, it is nonetheless a great film!

Spellbound.

Alfred Hitchcock takes on Sigmund Freud in this thriller in which 
psychologist Ingrid Bergman tries to solve a murder by unlocking the clues 
hidden in the mind of amnesiac suspect Gregory Peck. Among the highlights 
is a bizarre dream sequence seemingly designed by Salvador Dali--complete 
with huge eyeballs and pointy scissors. Although the film is in black and 
white, the original release contained one subliminal blood-red frame, 
appearing when a gun pointed directly at the camera goes off. Spellbound is 
one of Hitchcock's strangest and most atmospheric films, providing the 
director with plenty of opportunities to explore what he called "pure 
cinema"--i.e., the power of pure visual
  associations.

An engrossing psychological drama by the master of mystery. An amnesic 
mental patient unknowingly poses as the director of a mental hospital and 
becomes entangled in a murder. When a staff psychiatrist comes to his 
rescue, she finds that the solution to the murder mystery
lies deep within his repressed memories.

Deb -

Luckily I remembered that Shelley Long (of Cheer's fame) starred in the movie.
 I did a quick check on the internet and you can find a synopsis of the movie 
"Fatal Memories" at:

http://us.imdb.com/Name?Long%2C+Shelley

Look for #15 - "Fatal Memories."  Unfortunately the movie was made for TV so 
I'm not sure if the movie was ever sold/rented in the US.  Perhaps you can try 
your local video store?

Movie on Repressed Memories

2001-03-05 Thread Deborah Briihl

My students will be presented a debate on repressed memories and they 
wanted to start with a film clip. One of the students remembers a film 
about repressed memories that was shown on Lifetime, but can't recall the 
name of the film. Any help? I already looked on Cannon's website for films 
for psychology.
