    I didn't recognize Vincent Price in the film shot on your blog today. But yes, that is him, isn't it? I think I would watch it just for that.

    Just like Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I wonder if she was influence by Poe's short story.

    Vincent Price looks so young there, I almost didn't recognize him. I remember that Poe short story.

      He does look young, even though this isn't one of his early roles.
