"He was a good man..."We arrive as Magistrate Simon Cordier (Vincent Price) is being buried, and despite a glowing elegy, there is much ill feeling for the man. This continues as they meet to read his diary as requested in his will. From this comes the story of his meeting with condemned prisoner, Louis Girot (Harvey Stephens), on the eve of his execution, and his insistence that a spirit forced him to commit murder. Cordier obviously doesn't believe him, but he starts experiencing some strange events...
One of Price's better performance, being understated, as is the film itself, making it one that is hard to retain in the memory for long.
