Even without the modern special effects, the scting bu all is classic. Also, being produced in 1938, was much more authentic to the time period. A superb performance by all!

Chuck Jones' award winning animated version is the best and, atmospherically scary. Hard to find other than YouTube. That said this, version's good too.
