One of Vincent Price's lesser-known horrors, based on a story by Guy de Maupassant (makes a change from Edgar Allan Poe!), and directed by Reginald Le Borg (The Mummy's Ghost, Voodoo Island). Price is faultless, here supported by the stunning Nancy Kovack, with Chris Warfield, and Elaine Devry. Beautiful cinematography by Ellis W. Carter (the opening funeral scene is gorgeous). Not much blood, but plenty of suspense. Nice to see Price playing a sympathetic, even - in his own way - heroic, character. Slightly marred today by some primitive visual effects, but otherwise well worth a look. 7/10.
