However George becomes distracted by singer Netta , a trashy gold-digger who only wants him to write songs for her. What she doesn't know is that when George hears discordant noises he goes into a trance and there's no telling what he might do. George Sanders is also in the film as George's psychiatrist.
Cregar died of a heart attack shortly after completing the film.
