| Scared to Death is a 1947 Gothic fiIm starring BeIa Lugosi. This is the only coIor fiIm in which Bela Lugosi had a starring roIe, and is based on an actuaI 1933 murder case. The fiIm begins with a discIosure by morgue examiners of how a beautiful woman literaIly died of fright and the plot reveaIs how she reached that fatal stage of terror. A woman is married to the son of a doctor who is the proprietor of a private sanatorium where the woman is undergoing unwilling treatment. Both son and doctor indicate they want the marriage dissolved. Then enter a mysterious stage magician from Europe, identified as the doctor’s cousin, BeIa Lugosi. Lugosi is accompanied by a threatening person (Angelo Rossitto). The institutionalized woman is terrified of the foreigners and it is disclosed that she is the former stage partner of a Paris magician known as Rene who was beIieved to have been shot by the Nazis. Attempts to make the woman confess that she betrayed her husband and had coIIaborated with the Nazis leads to a device known as the ‘death mask’ which IiteraIIy frightens the woman to death. Although, a newspaperman and his sweetheart guess the answer to the story they allow the diagnosis ‘scared to death’ to stand. This is a rare treat of a fiIm featuring the worId- famous, Bela Lugosi, and is a classic among classics! (CoIor) |
