THE LEOPARD MAN (1943) – Episode 227 – Decades of Horror The Classic Era

Jeff returns to Decades of Horror The Classic Era picking the Val Lewton and Jacques Tourneur classic THE LEOPARD MAN (1943) for review. The Grue-Crew have a blast exploring this often overlooked RKO Radio pictures gem with its sharp dialog, exquisite black and white cinematography, and inventive direction. The cast is fantastic as well: Dennis O'Keefe, Margo, Jean Brooks, James Bell, and more — oh, and Dynamite as The Leopard. Synopsis: A seemingly-tame leopard used for a publicity stunt escapes and kills a young girl, spreading panic throughout a sleepy New Mexico town. Producer: Val Lewton Director: Jacques Tourneur Writers: Ardel Wray (screenplay), Edward Dein (additional dialog), and Cornell Woolrich (1942 novel "Black Alibi") Cinematographer: Robert De Grasse Cast: Dennis O'keefe, Margo, Jean Brooks, James Bell Join the Crew on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel!
