Talk:The Black Cat (1934 film)

"the 8 movies to pair Karloff & Lugosi"

It would be very interesting to list these eight (if they were eight indeed, I don't know it) films which featured Messrs. Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. --h_a 00:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

There were only 6. The Black Cat, The Raven, The Invisible Ray, The Son of Frankenstein, Black Friday, and The Body Snatcher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.132.166.120 (talk) 21:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

There also were Gift of Gab and You'll Find Out, but the pair only cameoed in the former, and the latter was a comedy. I assume that's where the original figure came from. --Popplewick (talk) 22:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually there were 8 - You'll Find Out and The Body Snatcher were for RKO films and for Universal there were 6 - The Black Cat, The Raven, The Invisible Ray, Son of Frankenstein, Black Friday, plus minor cameo performances in Gift of Gab. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.245.210 (talk) 08:47, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorted. --Popplewick (talk) 06:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Legacy of Great War

Isn't this movie also an expression of the legacy of the Great War, the Armageddon crucible of the 20th Century? A monumental satanic horror show that was spawning further demonic horrors of revenge and retribution in the vein of Hitler at the time the film was made. In that sense the movie was a worthy allegory and excellent expression of the zeitgeist of this period.Tom Cod (talk) 19:48, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like speculation to me; see WP:OR. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:17, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Expansion

Since the film is considered significant, more should be added to this article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:35, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
