Robinson and Charles Boyer star in the haunting tale of the supernatural, Flesh and Fantasy. When a jittery businessman (Robert Benchley) complains of a disturbing dream, a friend relates three stories to help calm his nerves. In the first, a homely dressmaker (Betty Field) wears a mask of beauty to attract a man (Cummings) on Mardi Gras night. Then, a fortuneteller (Thomas Mitchell) predicts an eminent lawyer (Robinson) will commit a murder, in an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Lord Arthur Savile's Crime. Lastly, a high wire artist (Boyer), haunted by a nightmare in which he suffers a fall, romances a woman (Stanwyck) who resembles the one he had seen in his dream. From acclaimed French director Julien Duvivier, this rarely seen classic, featuring outstanding performances, explores themes of fantasy and reality that remain timeless. ## Images ![Flesh and Fantasy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zT4KZBGBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Out of the Shadows *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2018* This is a film that most fans of old movies are unfamiliar with.It isn't exactly a horror anthology film, although the stories deal with the supernatural and belief in fate and premonitions.The first story, about a mask, is perhaps the best. It feels like it inspired a famous Twilight Zone episode. The second story, with Edward G. Robinson, is darkly humorous and well done. The final story, with Barbara Stanwyck, is well-done but the ending needs more punch.Perhaps "Flesh and Fantasy" works best if you know not to approach it as a horror film. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ FLESH AND FANTASY FINALLY RELEASED *by D***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2013* I have been waiting quite a while for the release of 1943's FLESH AND FANTASY. The concept holding the film together is rather weak but the three stories are interesting. The third story with Barbara Stanwyck and Charles Boyer is a bit confusing. Why is she a wanted woman? Was it a dream? Makes no sense. The first story with Betty Field as an ugly woman who wears a mask and eventually finds her true beauty is rather moving. What a wonderful story. The second story is the showcase. Edward G. Robinson is told by a psychic that he will murder someone. Will he? Enough said. Tune in yourselves. Great story. Overall I would recommend this rare film. I've been noticing that Amazon is discontinuing most of the Universal Vault Series, so get this classic before it becomes unavailable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unusual Universal Vault Film *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2014* In the early 1940's several studios released films containing short stories linked loosely by a central theme and performed by an all-star cast. "Flesh and Fantasy"is one of these films and it is welcomed back! It consists of three unrelated tales(a fourth tale was apparently cut out).First is Betty Field playing a homely woman during Mardi Gras who falls in love with Robert Cummings.She wears a mask of a beautiful woman to attract Cummings.Second is Thomas Mitchell as a fortune teller predicting that Edward G.Robinson will kill someone.Third is Boyer as a high-wire circus performer obsessed with a nightmare that he will have a fall and who is courting a woman(Stanwyck)who looks like the woman he has seen in his dream. Unusual and imaginative film. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4447734-flesh-and-fantasy](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4447734-flesh-and-fantasy) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
