Nina Foch stars as a young woman who is a Princess in a gypsy camp who is hiding a terrible secret and will do anything to keep it that way.
After the mysterious murder of his father, Bob Morris (Stephen Crane) seeks to find the answers as to who killed him and why. Helping him on this mission is his young bride to be Elsa Chauvet (Osa Massen).
Bob's investigation takes him down a road involving the supernatural while a police investigator named Barry Lane (Barton MacLane) refuses to believe any of it.
Bob meets the gypsy Princess Celeste LaTour and things take a much darker turn.
This was a fun little movie which I hadn't seen in almost 35 years. It's an interesting take on the werewolf genre of films and Foch is very good in the title role of the cursed woman.'
At only 63 minutes, the movie has a very brisk pace and never slows down. I liked the cast of this film and I have always liked Osa Massen and will watch anything with her in it. The rest of the excellent cast includes Fritz Leiber, Milton Parsons, Blanche Yurka, Ivan Triesault and John Abbott.
I would recommend this little thriller to anyone who simply likes older horror/mystery films.
