1941's The Black Cat is neither a remake of the 1934 {|Karloff|}-Lugosi film of the same name, nor does it bear the slightest relation to the same-named Edgar Allan Poe story (as if the 1934 picture did!) The fact that the heroes are played by {|Hugh Herbert|} and {|Broderick Crawford|} is indication enough that the 1941 film wasn't meant to be taken entirely seriously. It all begins when elderly cat fancier Henrietta Winslow (played by legendary vaudeville impressionist Cecilia Loftus) is murdered by a scheming relative. At the reading of the will, Henrietta's heirs discover that the old dear has left her entire fortune to her pet felines. No one will get a penny until all the cats join their ancestors in Tabby Heaven. Several more murders occur, as suspicion is cast on such shady types as Mr. Hartley ({|Basil Rathbone|}), Abigail Doone ({|Gale Sondergaard|}) and family butler Eduardo ({|Bela Lugosi|} in yet another red-herring role). By the time that bumbling Mr. Penny (Herbert) and Hubert Smith (Crawford) figure out who the real killer is, heroine Elaine Winslow ({|Anne Gwynne|}) is on the verge of meeting her doom as well. Billed last, {|Alan Ladd|} has practically nothing to do as one of the heirs. Hardly one of the classic Universal horror efforts, The Black Cat at least has the advantage of some spook camerawork, courtesy of {|Stanley Cortez|} (Magnificent Ambersons).
