Girls, Tonight "Svengoolie" Is Showing "The Black Cat," But The RIGHT One!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                            You see, darlings, there are two "Black Cats" and both have been shown by "Svengoolie."  The one being shown tonight, and which all must tune in to at 8PM, is the 1934 horror classic, suggested by Poe's story, and directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, who, twenty plus years later, would go on to direct the atmospheric camp classic "Daughter Of Dr. Jekyll," in 1957.  The other is also from Universal, but made in 1940, with Basil Rathbone, and is a kind of comedy mystery, laced with Gothic overtones.  Not as good as what we are seeing tonight.



                                                Besides Ulmer directing, the movie boasts Boris and Bela at their battling best, and the ever-good looking David Manners.  I know some girls will tune in just to get a glimpse of David, and once done, will not be able to keep their eyes off him.  Believe me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                                  "Svengoolie" has really given us a gem of a July.  Which was nice, considering the rotten weather and the travails we went through.  Baby Gojira and Pippin are looking through this too.


                                                      I even hear Hamlet is going to set aside some duties this evening, as CEO of The Algonquin, to watch this film.  You deserve a break, dear Hamlet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                                        I will see the rest of you girls, tonight at 8PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                                       Meeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria, It was fabulous to see the great sets and art direction. Some scenes must have been shocking for 1934 audiences.
