Madame Tirelou (Blance Yurka) refuses to let a man named Louis (John Baragrey) marry her daughter Marie (Annemarie Roussel). When he sets his sights on her again, Tirelou puts a witches curse on him.
Louis finds himself unable to walk and his friend Fred (Darren McGavin) arrives to help him break the curse and find out what is really going on. Fred thinks Madame Tirelou is nothing but a fraud, but her "magic' proves to be a lot more than Fred bargained for.
This is a pilot for a proposed TV series that was never picked up. The host of the show is Franchot Tone, and the entire presentation is very well done. It would have been interesting to see an entire series about witchcraft.
There isn't a ton of information about this little gem, but if you get a chance to see it, do so. The rest of the cast includes Robert Middleton and Bruno Wick. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
