Movie Summary: [Horror]

    John Carradine gives the performance of his career as Gaston Morel, an opera-singing puppeteer-cum-psycho serial killer preying on the women of Paris--but not before he paints their portraits! When Gaston falls in love with his intended victim, he accidentally leaves clues for the Gendarme agents on his trail--and their pursuit ends in a climactic chase through the sewers of Paris. Stylishly directed by acclaimed filmmaker Edgar Ulmer, this classic horror thriller has been too long misrepresented by poor quality copies. This definitive edition has been digitally mastered from newly restored 35mm preservation elements prepared by the Cinematheque Francaise in Paris.
