This film adaptation of Bernstein&#8217;s book comes across as overly talky and hopelessly dated (when Simmons asks her husband for &#8220;permission&#8221; to be regressed, for instance, nobody bats an eye), yet surprisingly entertaining in its own limited way. Regardless of your beliefs concerning the possibility of past lives, it&#8217;s fascinating to watch the supine Simmons &#8212; well-played by a short-haired Teresa Wright &#8212; conjuring up the mundane details of &#8220;her&#8221; existence 150 years earlier. Simmons&#8217; words are taken directly from the original transcripts of her sessions with Bernstein (published in the book), and are all the more convincing for their lack of overt drama &#8212; Simmons-as-Murphy &#8220;remembers&#8221; dancing a jig, being punished for peeling paint off her bed as a child, and wandering the heavens after her death.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, despite its title, very little time in the film is spent actually <em>searching<\/em> for &#8220;Bridey Murphy&#8221;; given the wealth of details Bernstein pries out of Simmons, I expected a lengthy detective hunt in Ireland, and <em>some <\/em>kind of a resolution (however dissatisfying) to the mystery of this young woman&#8217;s existence. Instead, the film&#8217;s denouement centers on the melodramatic issue of whether or not Simmons will be able to snap out of her final regression &#8212; thus emphasizing once again the film&#8217;s moral that hypnosis is a &#8220;powerful force&#8221;, and not to be taken lightly. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teresa Wright&#8217;s compelling performance as Ruth Simmons and &#8220;Bridey Murphy&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright-1024x637.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"398\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright-1024x637.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright-768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright-1536x956.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Wright.png 1563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The surprisingly effective &#8220;flashback&#8221; scenes of Bridey&#8217;s life in Ireland<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Search-for-Bridey-Murphy-Flashback.png 1563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo. This curiosity is very much a product of its time, and will only be of interest either to fans of Teresa Wright or believers in past life regression. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0049729\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moriareviews.com\/fantasy\/search-for-bridey-murphy-1956.htm\">Moria Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticmoviemusings.com\/2015\/08\/23\/the-search-for-bridey-murphy-1956\/\">SciFilm Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hypnotism is a powerful force that can&#8217;t be kidded around with as though it was a harmless little parlor game.&#8221; Synopsis: While being hypnotized by Dr. Morey Bernstein (Louis Hayward), housewife Ruth Simmons (Teresa Wright) experiences a past life as Irishwoman Bridey Murphy.
