The Clairvoyant (1935 film)

The Clairvoyant (US title: The Evil Mind) is a 1935[1] British drama film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Claude Rains, Fay Wray, and Jane Baxter.

[2] The film's sets were designed by the German art director Alfred Junge.

Maximus, "King of the Mind Readers", performs an English music hall mind-reading act with the help of his wife, Rene, using a secret code.

He chooses to ignore his own prophecy of his mother's death; when it comes true, he is so distraught that he decides to follow her wishes and abandon his ability.

The prosecution claims that Maximus himself caused both tragedies, by delaying the train and by panicking the miners into making a mistake.
