Review of The Tomb of Ligeia (1964) by Andrew C — 16 Nov 2008
Overly dramatic and arch adaptation of Poe's short story, this features Vincent Price in eye-popping overdrive, as well as the beautiful Elizabeth Shepherd doing her best with what she's given.
Towne's too verbose a writer to trust with Poe's style, and this shows through in some histrionic dialogue, all delivered in as over-the-top way as seems possible. The cat, however, is excellent.
