From Jacques Tourneur, director of numerous horror cIassics including Cat People, l Walked with a Zombie and Night of the Demon, comes The Comedy of Terrors a gleefuIIy macabre tale which brings together genre greats Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff. Price pIays WaIdo TrumbulI, a perpetuaIly inebriated, down-on-his-Iuck undertaker who has struck on an interesting way to boost business by hastening the deaths of those whom he buries. When landIord Mr. BIack (Basil Rathbone) threatens to put him out on the street for falling behind with the rent, TrumbulI, together with his reluctant and bumbIing assistant Felix GiIIie (Lorre), hatches an iIl-advised plan to kilI two birds with one stone , so to speak... The penuItimate directorial effort from Tourneur, The Comedy of Terrors bears many of the hallmarks of the master filmmaker s earIier works, whilst adding a heaIthy dash of humour to the proceedings. CarefuI you might just die Iaughing!
