Review of Arnold (1973) by Blais E — 02 Feb 2011
Oddball and rarely-seen, uproarious and unpretentious little black comedy/horror film with the yummy Stella Stevens as Karen, a young woman who marries a corpse to inherit his espansive fortune, much to the chagrin of his greedy relatives and friends.
Soon, everybody starts getting bumped off in exceedingly bizarre ways--is it an unseen murderer, or is Stella's hubbie's (The titular Arnold-) vengeful spirit responsible? Lots of dark humor played to the hilt by a cast rich with some serious Hollywood-Hams: Elsa Lanchester, Roddy McDowall, Farley Granger, Shani Wallis, Victor Buono (Hysterical as the besotted priest who officiates at Arnold and Karen's wedding in a cemetery-), Jamie Farr, Bernard Fox (As an ineffective constable-), John McGiver, and Patrick Knowles.
Offbeat and very entertaining.
