Revealing mistakes: 'Peter Lorre' 's stunt double is quite obvious - he's clearly a younger man (with longer, darker hair), wearing a Lorre mask. moreQuotes:

Highly recommended to those with a devilish sense of humour. Vincent Price is wonderfully evil as the desperate undertaker. Peter Lorre is disgusting but lovable as the assistant caught between Price's evil ways and his lovely (opera-punishing) wife (played with gusto and terrible audibility by Joyce Jameson). Boris Karloff (who never seems to get his medicine) is excellent as JJ's elderly father.
Honours go to their demanding landlord, Basil Rathbone, who.... well, watch the film and find out.
