BLUEBEARD, with John Carradine as the serial strangler of women in old Paris, 16mm, 1944.
Date: Tuesday, July 28th
Time: 8pm
Admission: $10
In this 19th century period piece he plays a sinister puppeteer who operates a diabolical marionette opera. Jeanne Parker is the lady he's stalking; Nils Asther is the detective who is stalking him. Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, who was a genuine German Expressionist, and it shows in this deeply lit and intensely styled low-budget film. Ulmer was a production designer who worked with Murnau before he came to Hollywood. All his work shows superbly sinister, threatening design and lighting. This film is all atmosphere and suggestion, hardly any violence is shown. When Bluebeard strangles his victims, we see a tight closeup of Carradine's eyes bulging maniacally! You couldn't ask for a better homicidal maniac.
The Screening will be hosted and presented by Movie Mike, who will be introduced by Joel Schlemowitz, the Morbid Anatomy Museum's Resident Film Programmer and Arcane Media Specialist.
