Horror Rod Lott
Sick of creating innovative tricks only to see someone else take credit
for it, inventor Don Gallico (Vincent Price) decides to try his hand at
performing live magic as Gallico the Great, aka The Mad Magician.
Comedy Rod Lott
In tacking the word “fast” onto each of these three comedy-minded mysteries, MGM
wasn’t joking. Not only are the running times of the films brief, but
its lead characters rattle through their dialogue like a teenager to
pizza.
Thriller Rod Lott
Despite how Warner Archive has branded it, 1963’s FBI Code 98 is not — repeat: not
— film noir. All film noir is crime, but not all crime is film noir.
That vaulted subgenre requires darkness, whereas this feature is so
light and breezy, it’s practically a recruiting tool for the federal
agency. It even has its own marching music.
Thriller Rod Lott
File 1965's Die! Die! My Darling! under that now-dead subgenre dubbed "Grande Dame Guignol." The Hammer Films production may lack the dueling duo of two twilight-era titans of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and the others, but truth be told, Tallulah Bankhead is fierce enough to provide all the fire it needs.
