1941126195Universal City CA: Universal Pictures 1941. Draft script for the 1941 film. <br/><br/>The 1941 version of "The Black Cat" is neither a remake of Edgar G. Ulmer's 1934 Karloff-Lugosi film of the same name nor does it bear much relation to the Edgar Allan Poe story though in fairness neither did the 1934 version. It is more of a horror-comedy affair than its predecessor with Broderick Crawford and Hugh Herbert in the lead Bela Lugosi reappearing now in the more minor role of "Eduardo" and Basil Rathbone ably handling the part of the shady Mr. Hartley. Shot by the legendary Stanley Cortez of "Magnificent Ambersons" fame.

1934135018Burbank CA: Warner Brothers 1934. Vintage oversize borderless double weight black and white photograph from the set of the 1934 film. Snipe in manual type on the verso mentioning Karloff in "his latest picture for Universal The Black Cat" and rubber stamps crediting photographer Roman Freulich noting that the struck print is for an archive and that the photo is to be an exclusive. A stunning image of Karloff in full high priest regalia. <br/><br/>One of several great films by director Ulmer and along with "Detour" probably his finest achievement an efficient tale in which a young couple with a broken down automobile land not in a decidedly art deco haunted house where Karloff resides and Lugosi along with the couple is visiting. Michael Weaver notes: "Boldly thumbing its nose at convention the film is a veritable catalog of human corruption. Sadism shades of incest revenge murder torture voyeurism Satan worship ailurophobia necrophilia rape and insanity are weaved into the nearly plotless story with remarkable precision."<br/><br/>8.5 x 11.75 inches.
