Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Incantesimo Tragico (Tragic Spell) is a sombre Italian vehicle for the magnificent Mexican film luminary Maria Felix. The story is motivated by an ancient curse, passed from generation to generation. The source of the hex is a fabulous treasure, which of course eventually falls into the hands of Felix. Will she be able to beat the curse, or has her fate already been hermetically sealed? When Incantesimo Tragico was released in the U.S., the advertising emphasized Maria Felix's popular co-star Rosanno Brazzi, who was then being give the Big Buildup in preparation for his sojourn in Hollywood.
