Repressed erotic desire fuels eerie nightmares in visionary director Edgar G. Ulmer's stunning interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Young Paul Cartwright (James Lydon) is seeking his father's killer while his mother Virginia (Sally Eillers) finds herself caught between her husband-to-be, the suave but sinister Brett Curtis (Warren William), and the memory of her noble, dead husband, Judge Albert Cartwright. (official distributor synopsis)
