Devil Doll (1964): Cast, Plot & Where to Watch

Stage hypnotist/magician The Great Vorelli [Bryant Haliday] and his eerie dummy Hugo [Sadie Corre] perform before a packed audience in London, their uneasy dynamic obvious to all who watch. The crowd senses a chill whenever Hugo sits, motionless, in his chair, while Vorelli keeps a tight and locked cage between acts—an ominous reminder that the act isn’t merely stagecraft. Into this world steps American reporter Mark English [William Sylvester], assigned to cover the mysterious performer, who quickly brings along his glamorous companion, Marianne Horn [Yvonne Romain], a wealthy heiress with her own ambitions and a taste for adventure.
