MORE Vincent Price! This one is so similar to the Phibes movies, and was made around the same time. Here VP plays Edward Lionheart, a Shakespearean actor who doesn't take citicism lightly. With his daughter Edwina (Diana Rigg) to assist, he gives the cocksure critics their comical comeuppance in various inventive ways, although this time his inspiration is taken from the Bard's plays rather than the Bible or the Book of the Dead. Again, the cast list reads like a who's who of British film and television of the time, so have fun putting names to those familiar faces! Uncle Vince has a great time hamming it up as usual with tongue firmly in cheek. Enjoy! More deadly delights from the Sneaky Elephant movie guide SOON!
