Some viewers may not even refer to this as a horror film. It's more of a Gothic mystery with elements of horror, particularly the Hammer films, several of the Vincent Price American International films, and certainly Italian and German thrillers of the 1960's, particularly the Mario Bava films from Italy.
British nobleman John Turner is returning home with his much younger bride (Heather Sears), a sweet and completely innocent young lady unprepared for what she will find. At first, all goes well, but changes in her husband's behavior and his sudden reappearances after allegedly leaving. The presence of the pretty but seemingly cold Ann Lynn casts a shadow over the marriage until Sears realizes a shocking truth.
Hopefully you can find a print of this in the magnificent quality I did because the colors are vivid and every detail is stunning. There are quite a few slow points in the film, but films of this type require sharp detail. I've seen this plotline in various forms, most notably Boris Karloff's 1935 forgotten classic, "The Black Room". This is a 60's discovery that is worthy of classic status.
