Mill of the Stone Women (1960)
By the laws of Serendipity, the French actor who played Winnetou in the German Western reviewed below turns up as the romantic lead in this oddity which has been on my "must-see" list for ages. It's an Italian production set in Holland with a mainly French and German cast and the restored copy I saw was in French with occasional lapses into English. It's a cross between mad-scientist-must-save-dying-daughter and "House of Wax" but with gorgonized corpses. It wasn't quite the horror classic I was expecting, but it was nicely filmed and had some memorable images which have now taken root in my cluttered brain.
