Question
Hi,  Looking for the name of a black and white movie I saw about a man who has temperary amnesia after waking up from unconsciousness.  He can't remember what happened but remembers who he is.  He goes back to his apartment and it looks like he has not been there for a while.  A mysterious woman tries to help him.  He finally figures out that he was in a tall building (where he works) and someone was pushed out the window and dies.  This is what caused the amnesia.  I can't remember anymore of it.  Thanks.
Laura

Hello Laura,

That sounds like a 1965 Gregory Peck film called "Mirage"...........
"An accountant's memory suddenly becomes mixed up starting from the moment the building he is in has a power blackout. He is bewildered that he can't recall even simple particulars of his job and places he does remember don't exist. Believing he has some type of amnesia, he tries to backtrack what happened before the blackout. Aided by a rookie detective and confused by an old girl friend, he tries to make sense of inconsistent facts while people around him are being murdered."

Here's a link......
