Episode 86 - Identity Crisis

It's yet another "inspired by Edgar Allen Poe" feature for your deadicated hosts... it's Universal Pictures' 1941 THE BLACK CAT (dir Rogell), with no relation to the 1934 horror of the same name. Starring Basil Rathbone, Broderick Crawford, Hugh Herbert, and a very small role for Bela Lugosi, just where on the spectrum from comedy to horror does this film land?
