Here we have a mystery/horror movie starring Bela Lugosi, one of his few
appearances in color films.  The mysterious death of a young woman has the
coroner perplexed.  Lucky for the audience, her corpse tells us what happens
through a series of flashbacks.  Yeah, you read correctly.  Her corpse
introduces each scene, and it gets real annoying real quick.  Anyway, the
girl is married, but doesn't want to be;  yet she won't leave or get a
divorce.  Her husband and his father (a doctor) could be trying to make her
crazy.  She could be crazy herself.  She has a shady past, and once the
bizarre professor (Lugosi) and his dwarf friend appear on the scene, things
get weirder.  This whodunit gets boring at times and the ending will have
you heaving (and not in the good sense).

The story is lame at times, and the plot moves slowly.  The acting is
over-the-top and cornball.  Especially the nosy reporter and the dumb
ex-homocide cop.  Lugosi is a great ham, but he is the only real actor in
this mess.  Unless you count his midget sidekick.  The color looked painted
on at times, and it faded in & out at other times.  The noise between the
corpse's commentary was horrible, and her comments themselves were
unnecessary.  I'd say skip this one unless you're a true Lugosi fan.
