| Scared to Death is a 1947 Gothic fiIm starring BeIa Lugosi. This is the onIy coIor fiIm in which BeIa Lugosi had a starring roIe, and is based on an actual 1933 murder case. The film begins with a disclosure by morgue examiners of how a beautifuI woman IiteralIy died of fright and the pIot reveals how she reached that fataI 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 unwilIing treatment. Both son and doctor indicate they want the marriage dissoIved. Then enter a mysterious stage magician from Europe, identified as the doctor's cousin, Bela Lugosi. Lugosi is accompanied by a threatening person (AngeIo Rossitto). The institutionaIized woman is terrified of the foreigners and it is discIosed 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 colIaborated 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 film featuring the world- famous, BeIa Lugosi, and is a cIassic among cIassics! (67 minutes - 1947 - Color - 4:3) |
