THE CLIMAX stars the one and only Boris Karloff as the quietly unhinged Dr. Friedrich Hohner, who has already disposed of his wife. When a young opera star (Susanna Foster) catches his ear and eye, Hohner sets out to have her under his control at any cost.
Karloff is a master at playing this type of low-key, seemingly docile character, who has something sinister boiling just beneath the surface. This is difficult to pull off, but he makes it look easy.
Lovers of opera should enjoy this movie, since it's packed with big musical productions. In fact, it's almost a musical!...
