Summary: In this movie suggested by Poe's "A Cask of Amontillado", The king constructs a cozy, windowless love-nest for himself and his concubine. However, she is not faithful to her sovereign, but consorts with the court troubadour. In fact, they use the king's new play chamber for their own lovecraft. When the king discovers this, he sends for his masons. With the faithless duo still inside, the masons use stone and mortar to quietly seal the only door to the vault... (imdb)

Well-designed sets and a great premise. The execution itself is a little boring, but that's true of most films from this period.

It's pretty stagey and lame, witih some bad acting, but the Poe-inspired tale (I adore The Cask of Amontillado) gives it a kick.

Mostly interesting because it's simply so old. The lesson here: never let a musician into your house. He WILL steal your lady.

If ever this is screened, seal yourself in your room until it's over.
