A lot of shadows and fog, doomed people, etc.<br /><br />What I didn't know going in was how good the cast is. I knew Lon Chaney, Jr., but I was unaware that Claude Rains, Bela Lugosi, Maria Ouspenskaya, and Ralph Bellamy (as the police chief) were here, too.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-40285968555520651592011-04-28T05:24:33.287-05:002011-04-28T05:24:33.287-05:00And much of the acting was terrible too.And much of the acting was terrible too.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175638828147935702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-83494693325725712022011-04-28T05:23:57.586-05:002011-04-28T05:23:57.586-05:00I'd be interested to see this version - I saw ...I'd be interested to see this version - I saw the new one last year with Anthony Hopkins and it really wasn't anything special.
