I saw The Raven when it came out. I was visiting my cousins in White Plains, NY, and we went to the RKO Keith's (or was it the Loew's?) on a Saturday afternoon. The three stars (Karloff, Lorre, Price) made a personal appearance. Later that evening, at dinner, my aunt said "I was walking down Main Street today, and I saw Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and Vincent Price walking down the street!"Detective Jim McLeod wrote: ↑December 10th, 2023, 9:59 am I saw part of The Raven last night, I caught some of Sven's trivia. He did mention there was some tension between Peter Lorre and Jack Nicholson. I read an interview with Nicholson where he said "Roger (Corman) gave me one direction, be as funny as Lorre, Karloff and Price. I loved those guys."
I don't know if much was mentioned about Hazel Court, who played Price's devious wife. I met her many years ago at a horror movie convention and got her autograph. I had heard that Peter Lorre constantly pinched her behind and I asked her if it was true. She laughed and said "Yessss! He was such a little devil!"
the film is one of my favorites of the 3 horror legends. Did anyone see it last night? Any other good trivia? What do you think of the film?
I watched a bit of the film last night, what I saw was fun, but perhaps a little too slapsticky.
