The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales is a rare gem and should be seen by all fans of the macabre and dark humor. Dr. Morales is also one of those fascinating anti-heroes, like the much later Dexter Morgan, whose actions are ghastly but understandable and you can't help sympathizing with him at some level.
**SPOILER ALERT**
Yes, he murders his wife. Yes, he gives false testimony to the Police and in Court. But in comparison to the actions of others in this movie, he exemplifies goodness and patience and is ultimately the best person of them all, with that one time exception of killing his wife in a quick and non violent way.
Some of the dialogues and monologues in this movie are priceless and reminded me so much of certain classic episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents from around the same time period, especially the famous episode in which a wife kills her philandering husband with a frozen leg of lamb, which she later serves to the officers investigating his death.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
