Does anybody recognise this film?

I watched it with my Mum when I was little. It was the first film for grown ups I 'understood', so it was a bit of a bonding thing for Mum and I. I can't remember what it was, though. Mum died years ago and I'd love to watch it again.

It's a bit Hitchcock (possibly actually Hitchcock?), feels very dark and ominous, and centres around a bloke who thinks he's going mad because his dreams and his waking life are crossing over. So, for example, he breaks his leg in a dream, and wakes up with his leg in plaster. It ends with him looking up at a street sign with an arrow pointing one way and an arrow pointing the other, and the two different place names make up the name of a person who's been part of driving him mad (Like 'Gwyneth' being on the left arrow and 'Paltrow' being on the right arrow)

Any thoughts? Gwyneth isn't relevant, it's older than her, and possibly black and white. I shall be eternally grateful if someone recognises this, it' been bothering me for years. Thank you!

Could it be DuMaurier’s House on the Strand? Hitchcock rather liked du Maurier .
