A 1960s gothic film still of a pale man in a velvet jacket looking in horror at a cursed strongbox in a crypt-like iron vault.

A long-limbed nobleman recoils in horror within his family's iron-gated subterranean treasury. The still exemplifies 1960s Corman-Poe Gothic cinema with its lurid Eastman Color palette, hard studio lighting casting dramatic shadows, and anamorphic widescreen distortion.
