Stage mentalist Gregor the Great becomes enraged when a drunken audience member belittles his act. When the man dies suddenly, Gregor convinces himself that his hypnotic powers are to blame. Guilt-ridden, he retires from performing to Valerie Monet's wax museum. He becomes increasingly stressed when he is pursued romantically by Valerie, her niece, and his former stage assistant, Maura Daniel. When Valerie mysteriously disappears, it is apparent that sinister forces are at work in the museum. Written by Gabe Taverney (duke1029@aol.com)
Frozen Ghost, The (1945)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Fourth in the Inner Sanctum series has Lon Chaney, Jr. playing a mentalist who blames himself for the death of a man. Trying to escape his past, he hides away in a wax museum but soon more deaths turn up. Evelyn Ankers co-stars but I found this one here to be somewhat boring due to the weak supporting cast. The story doesn't really bring any real excitement either.
You can now see all six Inner Sanctum films via Universal's set, which features all the movies digitally remastered.
