Reginald LeBorg directed this classic Universal film based on the novel "Conjure Wife " by Fritz Leiber.
Lon Chaney plays a man who marries n exotic woman from a small island who still practices white magic. When several mysterious deaths occur the blame falls on Lon's wife, Paula played by the gorgeous Anne Gwynne.
The troubles only get worse when Lon finally convinces her to stop practicing magic alltogether.
Evelyn Ankers is a jealour rival for Lon, Ralph Morgan and Elizabeth Russell round out an excellent cast.
This was remade in 1962 as "Burn Witch Burn." Recommended and part of Universal's Inner Sanctum serise.
