The Beast with Five Fingers (1947)

In the eerie shadows of a dilapidated Italian mansion, shrouded in the musty essence of a bygone era, resides the wealthy and unyieldingly stubborn Francis Ingram. Despite his physical limitations, bound to a wheelchair and possessing only one hand, Ingram's virtuoso talent on the piano reverberates through the vast, antiquated halls. His fervent belief in the supernatural and the occult is kept alive by his faithful but neurotic assistant, Hilary Cummins, guardian of Ingram's extensive library on spiritualism and paranormal phenomena. The mansion's gloomy atmosphere is contrasted by the radiant Julie Holden, a beautiful nurse and object of Ingram's overbearing obsession. Her efforts to break free from his controlling grasp lead her into the magnetic charm of Bruce Conrad, a local musician with a flair for enchanting affluent tourists. Amid the haunting melodies and spectral whispers, a complex dynamic unfolds as Conrad advises Julie to escape her manipulative employer, while maintaining a cordial relationship with the iron-willed Ingram.
