The Night Walker (1964)


Universal Pictures
Directed by William Castle
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Universal/TCM)

Barbara Stanwyck is unhappily married to a domineering, blind Hayden Rourke, who performs strange experiments in a locked room of their large mansion. He is killed one day in an explosion but she is subsequently unable to sell the house. She moves to the back room of a beauty salon she owns, but is tormented by dreams of a younger man, including a bizarre wedding ceremony presided over by mannequins. She consults her lawyer Robert Taylor who tries to help her overcome her fears. However, he's got some secrets of his own, revealed in the twist ending. Another fun William Castle production, it was Stanwyck's last picture, costarring her former husband Robert Taylor, written by Robert Bloch (Psycho).
