Mr. Sardonicus Movie Review 1961

Tidy little horror film finds the title character's (Rolfe) face frozen in a hideous grin after being cursed for stealing a winning lottery ticket from his father's corpse. Sardonicus has been experimenting with solutions to his problem (each more disgusting than the last) and finally forces neurosurgeon, Sir Robert Cargrave (Lewis), to assist him with his dilemma.
