Film Noir Mystics... The Miracle factory has recently released this DVD.
One of the four movies is The Evil Mind, 1934, staring Claude Rains: A stage mentalist performs a two person mind-reading act but one night finds he has actual telepathic powers. It is a great exploration of human nature and peoples reactions to good or bad predictions of upcoming events. It reveals the overwhelming catch 22 that someone would find themselves in. Predicting a long shot horse race .. No problem! Predicting a real disaster ... All hell breaks loose. Lot's of contemplations during and after this film... I liked it. David Thiel got me thinking about this ...

Agreed Slim, and he was at the height of his acting powers filming this. I find his portrayal sympathetic - the guilt, astonishment and fear he has when he realizes his predictions are coming true.

I agree ... But peoples responses were so easily swayed ..from pillar to post and back again.. Just a roller coaster of human emotions being played out and manipulated ... So current!
