Vincent Price stars in his first headlining role as the nasty "Dr. Richard Cross" who accidentally kills his wife in the lounge with a candlestick. One of his patients - Anabel Shaw ("Janet Stewart") is roused from her drugged state by the sound of their argument and witnesses the crime. As he discovers that she knows; he - aided by his lover Lynn Bari ("Nurse Elaine") commits her to his sanitarium where they try all sorts of ways of keeping her quiet before the inquisitive police discover the truth. As an indicator of what we might come to expect from Price, it's a good B-noir. The performances are decent, as is the script and given we have all the information about the crime from the outset, it is quite suspenseful - a good score from David Buttolph and a cracking thunderstorm see to that.
