Mirage

Mirage (1965) is a black-and-white American thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Gregory Peck and Diane Baker. Walter Matthau and George Kennedy appear in supporting roles.

New York accountant David Stillwell steps outside during a building blackout and stumbles onto a man who has just fallen — or been pushed — from a window. When the lights come back on, Stillwell discovers he has no memory of the past two years. None. He hires an inexperienced private detective to help reconstruct what happened, while someone with a clear interest in his amnesia starts making the investigation dangerous.

Adapted from Howard Fast's novel, the film sits firmly in the psychological thriller tradition of mid-1960s Hollywood — precise staging, a deliberate pace, and Peck giving a performance built on confusion rather than fear. That distinction matters: a protagonist who doesn't know what he's afraid of is harder to outrun than one who does. Stream Mirage online on iFILM.
