Laird Cregar gives off serious Vincent Price vibes, but his vessel is totally different. He has a large physical presence, but comes across with a timid affectation. His stature matched well with some great set pieces and lighting.
Some of the stark lighting created Wellesian effects in drama. Other effects of the lighting and set pieces were various conjurations of austere gothic imagery. Excessive moodiness amplifies the image.
This early iteration into obsessive psychosexuality is often gripping. Cregar embodies a suspicious man perfectly and reveals the cracks beneath at the perfect moments.
I don’t think the story is tied up the best, although there’s a great moment of the final villain crowded and the editing is awesome.
