This is a creepy take on the Faust legend, big on creepy atmosphere and religious piety but short on action.
Robert Winson ( George Macready ) is an eminent surgeon on his death bed. His despairing wife calls on an alternative power to God and a mysterious woman Lillian appears and saves him. However it is a very different George that returns to life and his friends become concerned.
Rose Hobart ( as Lillian )
Sex : No
Death : Defenestrated by George but hey, it was all a dream anyway
Rose gets top billing here as the devil-woman, Lillian. Perhaps it was the price she extracted for bearing that hairstyle.
Jeanne Bates ( as Ann Winson )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
This was a meatier role for Jeanne although she's not a particularly sympathetic character.
