ABOUT THE FILM:


Originally released February 7th, 1945

 

In this Edwardian noir, George Sanders is a Scotland Yard psychologist and Laird Cregar (in his final role) is a distinguished composer who moonlights as a serial killer. Linda Darnell steals the show as a conniving singer with a grisly sendoff. Bernard Herrmann’s “Concerto Macabre,” centerpiece of the film’s climax, is one of the most thrilling works composed for the cinema.
