Lon Chaney Jr leads the first film made by Universal in their Inner Sanctum series tailored for him from the popular radio series of the time. Chaney Jr plays a doctor who believes he has killed his manipulative, selfish wife although there are lots of twists and turns to uncover the killer. David Bruce fresh from THE MAD GHOUL takes good role as the wife's lover and Patricia Morrison is enjoyable as the dubious nurse and potential lover to Chaney Jr. Carol J Naish excels as the ceaseless police investigator. A minor film but fairly enjoyable with a good use of Chaney's mental thoughts on the soundtrack. A couple of good shots with the murder in shadow and events seen through Chaney's eyes add to the atmosphere. Overall Chaney Jr is fairly stiff in the role and it needs more mystery or twists, however an enjoyable way to pass an hour. 6/10.
