This double-feature brings together two of producer Val Lewton's classic RKO horror films... In 1943's 'The Ghost Ship', Tom Merriam (Russel Wade), the young third mate on a freighter bound for Patagonia, witnesses the murder of a crewman by the ship's captain, Will Stone (Richard Dix). Merriam realizes Stone is going insane, but the rest of the crew won't believe him...or that he may be the mad captain's next victim! Boris Karloff reunites with Lewton for a third and final time in 1946's 'Bedlam', set in 1761 at a London asylum. Karloff gives an unfortgettable performance as the doomed overseer who fawns on high-society benefactors while ruling his mentally disturbed inmates with an iron fist. Restored from their original nitrate negatives, both showcase Nicholas Musuraca's cinematography under the inspired direction of Mark Robson.
