(1948) Milton Rosmer, Megs Jenkins, Michael Harvey, Eric Micklewood, Brenda Hogan. This engrossing British film is based on the classic horror tale by W.W. Jacobs, a story that many of us read in high school. A man comes into possession of a withered, but magical paw of a dead monkey. From this paw he is bestowed three wishes. On his first wish, the man wishes to be debt-free. The wish is granted, but at the cost of his son’s life. On the next wish, the man’s wife wishes for her son to be returned to life—but the price is truly horrible. A gripping climax. From 16mm
