Svengali

 

USA 1931, 64 minutes
Dir. Archie Mayo
Rating: [G]
Genres: Horror, Classics

 

Aroview: Adapted from the novel by George du Maurier, this has a hypnotic maniac (Barrymore) turning his evil gaze on a young model and forcing her to transform her life while he pulls the puppet-strings. Imaginatively made with expressionistic set design by Anton Grot, hyper-touchy acting and a slippery sense of humour, this should be seen by all fans of early horror.
