From All Movie Guide: When his parents resisted his desire to become an actor, George Coulouris ran away from his home in Manchester, England. After training at London's Central School of Dramatic Art, Coulouris made his first professional stage appearance in 1925 with the Old Vic. In 1929, Coulouris came to Broadway, where he would remain throughout the 1930s save for a brief appearance in the 1933 Hollywood film Christopher Bean. The tall, aristocratic-sounding Coulouris joined Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre, appearing in Welles's 1937 modern-dress version of Julius Caesar. He ... appeared as the Rockefeller-like Walter Parks Thatcher in Welles's landmark film Citizen Kane (1941) (for publicity purposes, Kane was advertised as Coulouris' cinematic debut). Most of Coulouris' subsequent film roles were villainous in nature; in 1944, he was Oscar-nominated for his performance as a hateful fascist in Watch on the Rhine, and in 1945 he was top-billed for his role as an incognito Nazi in The Master Race.

Synopsis: On a foggy night, two fishermen, Hamp Gurney (Jack Watson) and his father, John (George Coulouris), sail towards Snape Island. Searching the rocky ground, the two are horrified to find the dead body of a young man. Inside the island’s abandoned lighthouse, the decapitated body of a woman is discovered. As John searches further, a naked young woman bursts from her hiding place and stabs him to death. She then attacks Hamp, who strikes her down. Taken to hospital, the girl, Penelope Reed (Candace Glendenning), lapses into catatonia. Assumed guilty of the murders of her companions, Penelope is given drug therapy in order to bring her out of her trance.
