Episode 303: Last show of 2024: 'Cash on Demand' (1961)

We try to avoid rumors. We have no issues talking about speculation from unnamed sources, but just straight up gossip and fan casting isn’t really our thing. That is what the internet and social media is for. But if it involves a couple of our favorites, we have not choice but to chime in.There are a number of criminally overlooked characters in Hollywood. The most underused may be the Universal monsters. Everyone knows who they are - Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man - but they never seem to get their just due. This is especially true of the Mummy. Are things about to change?Heist movies tend to be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we have not covered many bank robbery movies on our humble little podcast. And this year’s attempts at Christmas horror have frankly fallen flat. To end the year, we found something that checks off both boxes.There are a lot of shocking things about 1961’s Cash on Demand. And the fact it was made by the renowned Hammer Film Productions may be the least. The story of a cold bank manager who has to deal with a charming bank robber does not sound all that original. Cash on Demand makes it work with strong performances, wit, and great characters. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
