(San Fransisco and the nearby countryside; contemporary)
IMDb
While waiting for her returning POW husband at a San Fransisco hotel, Anabel Shaw gets quite a Shock when she witnesses a murder. The murderer incidentally turns out to be the very same Doctor (Vincent Price) who will come to treat her at a country mental institution. Fair programmer whose greatest strength is the nuance Price brings to his character. Dr. Cross killed his wife in a fit of anger over disagreements pertaining to their coming divorce (Anabel Shaw's character witnessed this event from her hotel room via a rear window). Price wanted to call the police but his mistress (Lynn Bari) convinces him to try and cover the murder up, later faking his wife's death as part of a climbing accident. Vincent goes back and forth throughout the movie trying to figure out what to do, and eventually kills Ms. Bari before turning himself in (there had to be a less messy way of handling that situation). Anyway, look for more forthcoming Vincent Price reviews as I recently received a four picture disc of the actors horror/mystery work.
