The first big American studio film — and last big American studio film – directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, The Black Cat is, uh, “inspired” by Edgar Allan Poe’s short story and stars Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in a taut game of life and death. We talk with Noah Isenberg, author of Edgar G. Ulmer: A Filmmaker at the Margins and the “Philly Poe Guy”, Edward G. Pettit to compare the film with the Poe story. And, we’re joined by special guest co-host Maitland McDonagh. Superstitious, perhaps… Baloney, perhaps not.
