Plot Summary: Richard Burton, starring as Baron von Sepper, an Austrian aristocrat noted for his blue-toned beard, and his appetite for beautiful wives. His latest spouse, an American beauty named Anne, discovers a vault in his castle that's filled with the frozen bodies of several beautiful women. When confronted with this slight oddity, Bluebeard explains to Anne that he found an easier alternative to divorce when he grew bored with his previous wives. In order to avoid being Bluebeard's next frozen bride, Anne must find a way to outwit her murderous hubby. Comments: Nothing Else Like It. Although a bit slow at times, this movie is definitely worth watching. It's one of those "so strange it's good" films, that seemed to reach their pinnacle during the late sixties, early seventies. Richard Burton is a bit stiff, perhaps embarrassed by his role, but the parade of beautiful woman in the movie more than make up for his wooden performance. Joey Heatherton and Raquel Welch stand out, as does the cinematography, which captures the eye in the same way those 60's TV shows like Batman and Star Trek did. The very weird plot has Burton playing a retired war hero who marries and murders his wives before having to admit to his "performance" problem. If you're a fan of the beautiful and the bizarre, take a look at this one. There's nothing else,(that I've ever seen) quite like it. ..Movie Stills ..Movie Stills Available to buy:  Bluebeard (DVD)  Bluebeard (VHS)
