One of Price's nastiest portrayals
He was about the best nasty guy around when this was made.
I killed him for money and for a woman. I didn't get the money... and I didn't get the woman.
I wouldn't agree. If you want to see Vincent Price be pure evil, watch The Masque of the Red Death. He is pretty evil in House of Wax and many others. True, there are a lot of movies in which he is nicer than here. In this one he commits a murder purely by accident and events snowball as he covers up. He is seen to have a conscience and excellently portrays struggling with it and debating what to do. The real evil character was the nurse who had no scruples and would stop at nothing to achieve her ends.
