I am not sure if anyone here can help but I figured I'd ask, someone may know and this would probably be the best place. Does anyone remember a movie (it had to come out in the 40s or 50s). It was black and white, the lady of the manor had called an old friend/boyfriend to her secluded home where her husband lived. But he never left the house and wore a mask. He was polite at first to his guest but as the movie wears on he becomes cruel. There was a man servant who was very cruel as well. There is a scene in the dining room and this man in the mask is very imperious, he's always got this edge of cruelty to him. They are discussing how people and society are. He eventually forces the man who came to visit to try an experimental cure for him so he can be normal, and he holds his wife captive to force him to do it.
Does this ring a bell to anyone? It was on last year and I wanted to get the DVD for Halloween night but I can't remember the title.

Suggest checking imdb.com, or possibly amazon. It could be a Hammer film from the UK., or an early Universal film. At first I thought it was "Masque of the red death". Can you remember who stars in it? If so, do a search for that actor & a list of his/her movies will show to help find it. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.
