Haven't seen this since high school but I remember liking its hysterical campness as being oddly faithful to Poe's style.
Didn't see Hitch. :(

It helps if you are (or were) Catholic perhaps, it has an aura of REAL transgressive Evil, as much as Rosemary's Baby or Night of the Demon maybe.
Whenever Masque usta screen in NY in all its widescreen glory, it always had Japanese (I think) titles running at the side of the print.
Speaking of Poe, I notice that I aciidentally taped a short adaptation of The Tell-Tale Heart last night -- directed by Jules Dassin! Does TCM include the shorts sched in its program guide? They never seem to be on the website.

I would have put this on a Joseph Losey thread, but I couldn't find one.

Joe, Duck Soup is easily their best film, cuz McCarey unleashed them in a cinematic way. Oh man, if you thought Animal Crackers was stagey and slow, have a few drinks before The Cocoanuts (also a Broadway hit for them) -- the camera hardly moves cuz the sound cameras were so huge, and it was directed by a guy who didn't speak English. Fast-forwarding to the Bros' gags is fine there... In the MGM films, the Marx plot utterly stops every 10 minutes so the romantic leads can take over -- deadly in its own glossy way.
I think Price is hilarious (intentionally so) in House of Usher, tonight after Masque. Might try to stay up for Phibes (never seen!) if I don't go to an Almodovar film at BAM.

Also, did anyone catch the de facto Roky Erickson Film Festival last Friday? "I Walked With a Zombie" and "Creature With the Atom Brain."

Preceded by the stirring elephantine musical 1776 (Howard da Silva as Ben Franklin, classic)... which I saw at Radio City Music Hall when it premiered.
