DEAD MAN'S EYES 1944 (UNIVERSAL)

This is the third of the six "Inner Sanctum" mysteries starring Lon Chaney, Jr. that Universal made in the 40's.
This time Lon is an artist who loses his sight and is then accused of murdering his future father in law who promised him his eyes after he dies.
Great little who done it also with Paul Kelly, Jean Parker, Thomas Gomez and the incredibly beautiful Acquanetta as Tanya Czoraki.
I admit that Acquanetta is not a very good actress, but my oh my she made up for it in the looks department. She was and always will e one of my favorite actresses in movies.
If I may indulge you for a moment...In case you didn't know Acquanetta's real name was Mildred Davenport and she was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming and was of Arapaho decent. Sadly she passed away at the age of 83 in 2004 from Alzheimers.
This is a good bet for Universal mystery/horror fans.
