John Carradine plays Bluebeard--he paints women and then strangles them to death. He doesn't want to do it but is compelled too (we find out why at the end). Then he falls in love with beautiful Lucille (Jean Parker) and tries to fight his desire...
John Carradine said this was his best performance--he's right! He's dead on target in the title role. He shows that Bluebeard is not evil and driven by impulses beyond his control. He uses body language and facial expressions perfectly. Also director Edgar G. Ulmer directs this beautifully with strange camera angles and lots of shadows making this very atmospheric. Also there are some beautifully done background paintings.
