The Mask of Diijon (1946)

Directed by Lew Landers
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Image Entertainment)

Erich von Stroheim sleepwalks through his role as a washed up magician turned killer hypnotist. There is a gimmick beheading to start the film, probably the best scene in the movie. Stark lighting also helps watchability, but dull acting kills it.
