The Climax (1944)

The Climax: Directed by George Waggner. With Boris Karloff, Susanna Foster, Turhan Bey, Gale Sondergaard. A demented physician becomes obsessed with a young singer whose voice sounds similar to his late mistress.

“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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKarloff 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLovers of opera should enjoy this movie, since itu0026#39;s packed with big musical productions. In fact, itu0026#39;s almost a musical!…”
