The inquisitor signals one of the executioners to burn her with a red hot iron. We see him approaching with the smoking iron but the actual burning is offscreen as we only hear Maria\u2019s painful screaming. After passing out, she is hung by her wrists and lowered into a hole down below. I only wish I had a better print of this; it\u2019s never been available on either DVD or VHS. Sadly, one of the last films for the lovely star Montez, who was also branded in 1945\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Sudan<\/em>. She suffered a heart attack and drowned in her bathtub less than a year later at the age of 39.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thief of Venice: Maria Montez torture rack scene\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ajgcYh77Dag?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief01.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:543px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief02.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:542px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief03.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:552px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief04.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:560px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief05.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:570px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief06.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:570px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief07.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:550px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief08.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:556px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief09.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:572px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief10.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:586px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief11.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:586px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief12.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:596px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief13.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:596px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief14.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:594px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ralphus.net\/database\/azhotiron\/a1picsmz\/thief15.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:590px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A wonderful and very rare scene where Maria Montez is tied to a torture rack and interrogated.
