Unfolded with unremitting sus- pense and mounting step by step to a terrific climax, “Undercurrent” starts with the romantic meeting and subsequent marriage of Ann Hamilton and Alan Garroway, wealthy young industrialist. The marriage at first gives promise ot being a happy one, but gradually and inexorably there hovers over the young couple the shadows of Alan’s brother, Michael Garroway. What happened to Michael? If he is the villain repute makes him, why are there so many tender undercurrents connected with the traces of his personality? Is Ann in Jove with Alan whom she mar- ried or with Michael whom she has never seen? These are the ques- tions which form the framework ot & narrative which sweeps’ the spectator on from one breathtaking lsequence to the next, ending in a !cumax of surging dramatic power.
