merci pour le partage, des films comme-çà on n'en fait plus, un petit chef d'oeuvre.
I remember this was a film without color.
This is planned!!!!
NO ME GUSTAN LAS PELÍCULAS COLOREADAS. UNA LÁSTIMA QUE YOUTUBE NO DE LA OPCIÓN DE VER EN ESCALA DE GRISES. ADEMÁS NO ES ESPAÑOL LATINO ES IBÉRICO.
Adoro questi films del 1700, che hanno su di me un forte effetto soporifero..😊
Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead in a 1950s horror film – what more could you ask for? 👍
Merci beaucoup pour ce film des plus belles années du cinéma 🙂
20:20 where Wes Craven got the idea for Freddy Krueger!!!! 😮 Great movie including Vincent Price as villain too and Darla Hood last film 🎉
Buena de intriga hasta el final no se sabía quien era el tal murciélago no hay duda que estás peli de antes eran una maravilla
20 mins in and it's really good so far!!!
Love Agnes Mooreheads acting! She was a great costar.
😅
Bella ed intricata trama!Buona la scelta dei protagonisti. Dall'ottimo Vincent Price alla "caratterista"Agnes Moorehead
Fantastic
Que mujeres tan femeninas!!!
I’ve enjoyed this movie over the years. Lizzie’s husband is the director.
Merci beaucoup 🙂
Das war spannend, aufregend und ein Filmgenuss, in Kolorierung fühle ich mich noch mehr in den Film mitgenommen. Danke für das Hochladen.
❤❤ SUPER THRILLER. MERCI🎉🎉❤❤
incommensurabile boiata
Colorized. UNWATCHABLE.
I wish older people would understand that to colourize a black and white movie, you don't have to ruin the original like you would do for a dress for example. The original is still there, sound and safe. The coloured version is just a "copy". Just search for the black and white version and you'll find it.
Sometimes I'm scared of growing old when I read these type of comments.
Anyways, thx for sharing. Very entertaining movie.
A very good, colorization job!!! Same with the clarity, and picture quality. Well done to add that, to this older classic👏👏.
Ive watched this movie many times. Its a great one. I wish Agnes moorehead had more movie roles like this. She shines in this one.
Who thought this was a fab film but annoyed about the naked wine ads? I will never buy naked brand wine solely because they annoyed me. 😂 fab film though
I own the b&w version on vhs tape. I enjoyed the colorized offering. Good movie, worth a watch in spite of the many plot holes large enough to drive a truck through.
You can't blame Vincent Price for shooting his hunter buddy, his buddy was going to shoot him
Thank you for Colorizing this!
I’m blown away by the classic movies I’ve been watching on retroflix
I was in the 1st grade when this movie came out. I love the fashion, even the dressing gowns/ robes & luxurious nightclothes. Beautiful surroundings, tea as an event not a bag plopped into a chipped mug. Life is elegant, well mannered & well lived at a slower pace. Yes, it is moneyed, but elegance
can happen with Dollar Tree & Thrift Shops. I still entertain with lovely Christmas china dinner plates from DT. It’s a state of mind. Just ❤ it!
The first time they showed the killer unmasked I said “You’re the culprit!” Haha ❤😊 Nope I was wrong. 😊
Great great
I love that era
It's better in the original b/w.
