In BLUEBEARD, John Carradine plays Gaston Morel, a serial-killing painter who uses his art to lure his young, female victims to their doom. Gaston strangles them and dumps their bodies in the nearby canal.
Enter the lovely Lucille Lutien (Jean Parker), who dazzles Gaston immediately, setting his wicked heart aflutter. For her part, Lucille is mesmerized by Gaston's puppet show, and soon becomes his next subject.
Will she survive?
BLUEBEARD is a very good thriller. It's also, arguably, Carradine's best performance. He's psychologically tormented and terrifying. It's unfortunate that he wasn't given more leading roles.
Highly recommended...
