As long as this seems to be the place for detached head movies.

One from the late 50's a friend and I talked about, but can't remember the name. A woman carries around the severed head of a pirate(? - something that looks like it dates back a couple hundred years) that doesn't actually make any sound, but moves his lips as if he was talking. As he does, we THINK the person he was looking at comes under his control.

Seems like he was eventually reunited with the rest of him, but we can't remember what happened.

Not much, I know, but can anyone put a name to this movie?
