The Black Cat (1941)

Neat Little Comedy Mystery Film
I like this one. It's a far cry from 'The Black Cat' (1934) - two completely different films in every way minus the title and Bela Lugosi being in both of them.

The one unfortunate thing about this movie is Bela Lugosi and Basil Rathbone's parts are smaller than I would have liked for them to be. I wish the two of them had more screen time but the movie is fun to watch regardless.

The mystery in this film is kinda easy to solve but still has you wondering if your guess is right or not as to whodunit.

The movie seems more like an Abbott and Costello film as other reviewers mentioned - it really does. Something about the particular style of comedy. So if you like Abbot and Costello films then I think you might get a kick out of The Black Cat 1941.

7/10
