FILM (part 2)
Every Sunday for the next several weeks, the Steve Allen Theater will be showing mystery movies, starting with The Black Cat (1934) tonight. This film-noir originally written by Edgar Allen Poe starring Boris Karloff and Bella Lugosi is a story about honeymooners in Hungary who are forced to seek refuge in a creepy house owned by a Satan-worshiper. Sounds like fun!
