...this suspenseful Romantic tale, all the supporting roles are expertly handled, especially the curious roster of people living in the Count's ancestral chateau: the Count's morphine-addicted mother (Bette Davis), who keeps to her bed and board (chess); his neurotic wife (Irene Worth); his young daughter (Annabel Bartlett) with a passion for the more morbid aspects of hagiolatry...
