Review of The Dark Tower (1943) by Kevin R — 13 Oct 2012
Why doesn't Hollywood make good circus melodramas anymore? Herbert Lom is a scary circus hypnotist who holds unnatural sway over a female trapeze artist. Lom is excellent as the hypnotist, but the film fails to live up to it's creepy premiss.
I was hoping for something along the lines of Tod Browning's "Freaks" or "The Unknown", and it's unfortunately nowhere that unsettling or that good.
