 The Devil's Hand (1961) William J. Hole Jr.


A mesmerizingly magnetic blonde witch Bianca (Linda Christian) sultrily appears in the fevered dreams of handsome devil Rick (Robert Alda), acting against the wishes of his peachy fiancee (Ariadna Welter), he fatefully discovers that this sublime apparition is certainly no less beguiling in the flesh, and is drawn deeply into the malign mysteries of diabolical devil god Gamba. As a lightweight example of beatnik'd occult B-horror, The Devil's Hand proves entertaining enough, technical aspects, and performances are sound, if a little stiff. While The Devil's Hand is no more demonic than a Martin Denny album, and the text is refried Sax Rohmer, I remain a sucker for monochromatic, Martini-soaked deviltry. For added pep, there's righteous surf guitar sounds, a captivating bongo dance routine, plus voluptuous Villainess Bianca is one bewitchingly buxom, evil-ass witch!
