STRANGE CONFESSION 1945 (UNIVERSAL)

This is the fifth and rarest of the six Inner Sanctum mysteries filmed by Universal and starring Lon Chaney, Jr.

Lon plays Jeff Carter, a mild mannered chemist whose life and marriage are ruined by his unscrupulous boss, and his son even dies from using untested drugs that the boos rushed out to the market.

This pushes Lon too far and he snaps and seeks revenge on his boss played by J. Carol Naish. Lon's wife is played by the very sexy Brenda Joyce. This is a very good remake of Mystery of Edwin Drood and has a rather shocking ending as well. Due to rights issues, this played in the 40's, was re-issued with the title The Missing Head and then vanished until the 1990's when Universal released in on VHS.

Now it's on DVD and thank goodness for that. This is a rare and wonderful thriller that will hold your attention for it's short 62 minute running time. Again, Very Highly Recommended!!
