(1937, aka A NIGHT OF TERROR, upgraded 11/21/23). Basil Rathbone, Ann Harding. If you liked Lugosi in THE RAVEN, you'll love Rathbone in this forgotten horror thriller as he gives the performance of his life. You'll see him transform from a smooth talking ladies' man into a totally loony-tunes, psycho-killer by the end of the film. Harding wins a fortune with a lottery ticket. Before long Basil has her ensnared in his diabolical plot. The final 20 minutes are absolutely unforgettable. You must see this Gothic masterpiece. From 16mm.
