Sven- The Night Walker


From Wiki- Irene Trent is unhappily married to a blind, pathologically possessive millionaire inventor, Howard. Howard and Irene's palatial mansion is packed with an assortment of cuckoo clocks, all in perfect synchronization, and Howard tape records all conversations in the house, hoping to catch Irene plotting an illicit liaison. Irene lives in a constant state of dread due to Howard's jealousy. Irene remains faithful to Howard, but not by choice; he never lets her leave the house and entertains no guests except his attorney, Barry Morland. Howard spends most of his time working in his upstairs laboratory on a variety of projects, the nature of which he refuses to divulge to anyone, while Irene indulges her yearnings for an extramarital affair with recurrent dreams of a fantasy lover.

This movie featured a lot of unpleasant people, as many of Castle's movies do.   The movie involves blackmail and schemes.  It might have been easier to watch without commercials and Sven-Schtick.  Once.  I doubt I will watch this one again.  It is really well shot, and the actors are good.  It isn't my cuppa, is all.

Next- Black Cat
