The Amazing Mr. X 10/18/25

It’s part film noir, part haunted house movie and a 100% atmospheric triumph for director Bernard Vorhaus and cameraman John Alton. Eagle-Lion’s spooky tale of a spiritualist conning a widow and her daring younger sister works up a nice charge of suspense. Turhan Bey stars as the smooth soothsayer, and Lynn Bari and Cathy O’Donnell are the women he mesmerizes. Did the producers recognize the story concept as a good mix of The Uninvited and Nightmare Alley?  This PD restoration plays very well. On Blu-ray from Film Masters.
