Did you know
- TriviaKino Lorber's 2016 Blu-ray of this 63-minute movie features a nearly two-hour commentary with Tom Weaver, David Schecter, Dr. Robert J. Kiss and Sumishta Brahm. The latter is the daughter of the movie's director, John Brahm.
- GoofsThere are a number of mistakes in how the coroner's inquest is carried out under English Law. The most obvious are that the coroner at one point prejudicially calls the death a crime, allows another person to question a witness, and deals with the witnesses in the wrong order.
- Quotes
Robert 'Bob' Curtis: [in the crypt] Everyone seems to be resting in peace.
Dr. Jeff Colbert: [sardonically] By daylight, at least.

Featured review
Not For All Tastes
With a little over an hour's running time, this film is one of a number of very short,second features that were made in abundance during the forties. Always in black and white, they starred familiar faces that never really made it to the "A" list (with a few exceptions). They also featured players on their way down. Heather Angel, who was the female support in the classic "The Informer", was reduced to starring in programmers like this one. Be that as it may, this film is a step above most second features. The cinematography is good......eerie and fog shrouded (maybe to hide lack of sets). The actors all rise to the occasion and are generally quite good. There is a little too much forced humor which is out of place in the context of the story. I never knew why they insisted on doing that......many a good "B" picture was ruined by injecting unfunny schtick in otherwise dramatic stories. No guts and gore here....just a compact, tight storyline about a family curse which appears to be coming true. It won't keep you guessing but it will keep you interested throughout and is one to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I think you'll enjoy it.
