"The Black Cat" Is A Universal Film, But Not The 1934 Gem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Though Bela Lugosi was in both versions, and both were released by Universal Pictures, this "Black Cat," which "Svengoolie" is showing tonight, at 8PM, is from 1941.  It is billed as a "comedy mystery," and has a cast of scene stealers--Lugosi, Basil Rathbone, and, best of all, Gale Sondergaard, who here will probably do a variation on Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers.

                              The plot is generic--a family vying for the inheritance and wealth of a substantial estate, waiting for the figurehead to die.  How many times have we seen this one, darlings??????????????

                                My guess is that the cat will have a hand in the shenanigans and may even steal the show!   Too bad Nicholas did not make this film; though he is not black, he is quite the scene stealer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 So, tune in tonight, girls, and then we may discuss it over coffee or tea.  With cake or dainties, of course!

                                 "Svengoolie" must have a fondness for felines.  Two "Black Cats," and, of course, "The Shadow Of the Cat."

                                    How about Val Lewton's 1942 "Cat People," Sven???????????????????
