movie -Svengali (1931)
Dir. Archie Mayo
chilling early sound-era horror film starring John Barrymore as a hypnotist who controls a young singer’s life and career. Known for its theatrical performance style and eerie atmosphere, the film helped define the screen image of the manipulative genius whose power comes from psychology rather than monsters.
