Bedlam was truly a great film depicting London in 1761, and under the cruel domination of its chief warden, Master Sims, (Boris Karloff )who was true to form in this picture in 1946. One of the lunatics(Glenn Vernon) smothers to death because he is gilded, probably and idea that was used later on in the James Bond film: "Goldfinger". The church set from Bells of St. Mary's was used for the asylum. This is a great artful and scary movie with horror. There is a great scene when Boris Karloff has the last brick put in his face to end his horrible rule over the poor mental patients. This picture showed how mental patients where treated years ago along with sane people who also were placed in these asylums.
