the character acting be a little stiff and a if it be the first time man of the actor have appear on screen . unfortunately one of the good actress and jean simmons ( play many bit role on tv and like in star trek tng and in the heat of the night ) and die quickly and thereafter her acting can be markedly miss . the lead role be mr ballard and a portray by cliff robertson . cliff be force to carry this movie with his body language for most of the time . he doesn not do a poor job and but it be a little overmuch to ask of an actor to plug the ocean of blank screen time during which the character spend their time not talk and also not act . robertson most memorable role may have be ben parker in the last 3 spider man movie ( star tobey maguire ) . the plot be predictable . a husband murder his rich wife for her money . thereafter the wife seem to comeback and haunt the husband drive him insane until he leap from a high window ( fear the specter of his dead wife approach him ) on the day he be predict to die no less . the second chauffeur mr ballard hire look a lot like an english mark hamill . uncanny really . the only thing that stand out be the utter disregard for dialogue . many minute pass in quietness and no one speaks and and few act . it be a shame the mst3k guy never get hold of this movie . it could have be much well and if not just a predictable and with more dialogue and or short scene of nothingness . i keep expect gmork red eye to appear from the shadow and proclaim that he work for the nothing that inhabit this film .
