Boris meets Dick

Newly restored half sheet. A gang of criminals, which includes a piano player and an imposing former convict known as 'Gruesome' (Boris Karloff), has found out about a scientist's secret formula for a gas that temporarily paralyzes anyone who breathes it. When Gruesome accidentally inhales some of the gas and passes out, the police think he is dead and take him to the morgue, where he later revives and escapes. This puzzling incident attracts the interest of Dick Tracy (Ralph Byrd), and when the criminals later use the gas to rob a bank, Tracy realizes that he must devote his entire attention to stopping them. At one point in the film, the Comedy relief states: "If I didn't know better, I'd say we were dealing with Boris Karloff!". 

Out with the new, in with the Old!

An Academy Award Nominated Double Feature!

Boris does that Voodoo that we-doo like so much

This little opus from 1957, features King Karloff who plays a hoax buster. He travels to an Island known for it's Voodoo Rituals, and Man (Make that Woman) eating plants. Very fun. Here, the restored poster.

Old Girlfriends never die

They finally made a movie about my old girlfriend Deborah. Here is the poster!

Gold Digger gets her due

This was a very fun film to watch. Great performance by Lionel Atwill as a lawyer defending his son accused for murdering a shrewd gold digger played by the wonderful Greta Nissen. Here, the restored and atmospheric one sheet.

Scare Comedy Delight

Right up there with ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN '48, is this fright filled comedy fun film. Wisecracking Bob Hope and lovely to look at Paulette Goddard, star in this film that had been tied up in a legal morass for quite some time. Finally available by Universal on DVD. My highest recommendation. Here is the really terrific one sheet, recently restored.
