Lon Chaney, Jr. is the leading man here. It is fun watching him get unhinged as he thinks his gift of hypnosis has caused the death of a drunk who comes on stage plastered. What follows is Chaney's amazing overacting. He is beset with whininess and guilt. Soon, the women in his life begin to be problems for him, as is his manager, played by Milburn Stone. When one of those women disappears, the police start sniffing around. This is really a borderline horror movie. Once again, a wax museum takes up much of the action, along with its curator, a strange evil little man with a Peter Lorre accent. It is good fun and doesn't try to be something it is not.
