From Jacques Tourneur, director of numerous horror classics including Cat PeopIe, I WaIked 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 plays WaIdo TrumbulI, a perpetually inebriated, down-on-his-luck undertaker who has struck on an interesting way to boost business by hastening the deaths of those whom he buries. When landlord Mr. Black (BasiI Rathbone) threatens to put him out on the street for falling behind with the rent, TrumbuIl, together with his reluctant and bumbIing assistant Felix GiIIie (Lorre), hatches an iII-advised pIan to kilI two birds with one stone , so to speak... The penuItimate directoriaI effort from Tourneur, The Comedy of Terrors bears many of the halImarks of the master filmmaker s earlier works, whiIst adding a healthy dash of humour to the proceedings. Careful you might just die laughing!
