The Mad Magician (1954)



Thanks to V for mentioning this wonderful film of my most favorite actor lately in a BR Challenge. Although there's kind of House of Wax flavor with more of a mystery-thriller touch rather than horror. But Price fans can't allowed to miss it anyway. Loved it. There's an interesting period part in the story about implementing the Finger print techniques to solve the murder cases but the police chief wasn't sure about its accuracy or acceptance in the system. However my only complain goes as usually with the title, The Poor Magician should be more appropriate in terms of all the tragedy Gallico suffered in his significantly underrated career.
