Like several of the unseen films I’ve mentioned this Sham Shocktober, Dragonwyck (1946) has carved out a little niche in my mind thanks to its evocative title. It was made at a time when Vincent Price could still be regarded as a romantic lead – albeit a sinister one – and I bet he excels. I’ve seen him in the same year’s Shock, in which he plays a murderous doctor, and his suave menace was hard to shake. I’m guessing Dragonwyck plays on this same quality.

Vincent Price's good looks were so underrated, so you got me here with Romantic Lead. I too, believe he would be good in a role like that. btw, Gene Tierney (sp?) and Price were also together in the excellent thriller Laura! Speaking of romantic leads - Dana Andrews - ME-OW!
You definitely piqued my interest in this one.
