From Jacques Tourneur; director of horror classics such as "Cat People;" "I Walked with a Zombie" and "Night of the Demon;" comes "The Comedy of Terrors" – a gleefully macabre tale which brings together scream legends Vincent Price; Peter Lorre; Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone! Price is Waldo Trumbull; a lazy; unscrupulous and perpetually inebriated undertaker who is running his senile father-in-law's (Karloff) mortuary business into the ground. Facing a mound of debt and a relentless landlord; Mr. Black (Rathbone); who is threatening to evict him for falling behind with the rent; Trumbull and his reluctant assistant Felix Gillie (Lorre); devise a wicked plan to make death pay...by speeding up the demise of their unsuspecting customers! A crafty and entertaining directorial effort from Tourneur; "The Comedy of Terrors" bears many of the hallmarks of the master filmmaker's earlier works; while adding a healthy dose of humor to the mixture.
