Voice in the Mirror (1958): Harry Keller’s Drama, Starring Richard Egan, Julie London

Harry Keller directed Voice in the Mirror, a Hollywood movie about a married couple, troubled by the fact that the husband (Richard Egan) struggles with a drinking problem, which influences every aspect of his life.

After sinking into the depths of drunken despair due to the death of his daughter, a man is warned by his doctor that he is on the brink of terminal mental illness.

A fellow alcoholic suggests that he try faith, so he begins saving not only himself but others, eventually creating the organization of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Troy Donahue, who plays a small part, would become a major youth star the following year, after the release of the medlodrama A Summer’s Place.

Arguably, Keller is best known for acceptingUniversal Pictures’s offer to directing reshoots and additional scenes on Orson Welles film noir, Touch of Evil.
