Revealing mistake: In the beginning where Vincent Price is brawling with his business partner, his partner throws a pipe or bar at him. Price ducks and the bar hits something that the camera was connected to, because the scene jerks.

9. 6/10. The better of two movies that are set within a wax museum. Vincent Price, one of the masters of horror, invokes a villain of both horror and sympathy. That's an accomplishment rarely done nowadays if only a few times. Here he owns the movie and makes it not only a horror masterpiece but one that could easily fit in with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes in a crossover movie.

Prof. Henry Jarrod: Here we have Joan of Arc - a favorite subject of mine.
Trivia: Even though the film was made in 3-D, director Andre de Toth could not see the effect as he was blind in one eye.
