Shock (1946 film)

Shock is a 1946 American film noir directed by Alfred L. Werker

Plot

The film tells the story of a psychiatrist, Dr. Cross (Vincent Price), who is treating a young woman, Janet Stewart (Anabel Shaw), who is in a coma-state, brought on when she heard loud arguing, went to her window and saw a man strike his wife with a candlestick and kill her. It also stars Lynn Bari as Dr. Cross's nurse/lover, Elaine Jordan.

As Stewart comes out of her shock, she recognizes Dr. Cross as the killer. He then takes her to his sanitarium and at Elaine's urging, gives Janet an overdose of insulin under the pretense of administering insulin shock therapy. He can't bring himself to murder her in cold blood, though, and asks Elaine to get the medicine to save her. Elaine refuses, they argue, and he strangles her. A colleague of Dr. Cross, Dr. Harvey, saves Janet's life and Dr. Cross is taken into custody by a lawyer from the District Attorney's office.

    Shock

    by: Psychedelic Furs

    I hear brand new talk everywhere I go
    They got a new word for what we do
    When the lights get low
    And I, I hear my heart beat black and blue
    Don't call it love, it don't keep time
    For me and you
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    Yeah down in my soul
    When the lights get low
    And the music's loud
    And the latest song is hot and cold
    'Til the stars go down
    And my blood runs cold
    And my hands just shake
    Got a heart like crime and a pretty face
    Ain't all it takes
    And I don't call it love
    Waiting for the world to stop
    And I don't call it love
    Waiting for the world
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    Yeah, down in my soul
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    Yeah, down in my soul
    I feel shock, shock
    I don't call it love
    Waiting for the world to stop
    And I don't call it love
    Waiting for the world
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    Yeah, down in my soul
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    When the world gets cold
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    Down in my soul
    I feel shock
    I got a heart like crime
    When the world gets cold
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    Yeah, down in my soul
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    When the world gets cold
    I feel shock when the lights get low
    I got a heart like crime
    Down in my soul
