Malpertuis

Send us Fan MailWe close out our theme of “The Great Escape” with 1971’s Malpertuis (also known as The Legend of Doom House), a relatively obscure Belgian fantasy film about a sailor trapped in the mansion of his dying uncle (played by the legendary Orson Welles). The sailor and the fellow residents of the mansion are fighting for the uncle’s inheritance, and since Karl’s shakeup was that his pick must include a non human character, let’s just say the residents are not what they seem. We also have our usual discussions, including whether any of us have ever inherited anything. So come join us, but please know that you may never leave!
