EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to 1934 when Edgar G. Ulmer's "The Black Cat" first graced the silver screen. The image captures three iconic figures of the era: Bela Lugosi, Jacqueline Wells, and Harry Cording, who brought an air of mystery and horror to audiences worldwide. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn to the hauntingly beautiful spiral staircase that serves as a backdrop for this chilling scene. Its intricate design seems almost symbolic of the twisted narrative that unfolds within the film itself. Bela Lugosi, known for his portrayal of Count Dracula in Universal Pictures' classic adaptation, once again mesmerizes with his enigmatic presence. His piercing gaze and commanding stature exude an aura of gothic allure that has become synonymous with his name. Jacqueline Wells (later known as Julie Bishop) stands alongside Lugosi, her delicate features juxtaposing against his dark intensity. Her expression hints at both fear and curiosity - a perfect reflection of her character's journey into darkness throughout the film. Completing this eerie trio is Harry Cording, whose sinister countenance adds another layer of suspense to this already gripping composition. Together they form a formidable cast that captivated audiences during a time when horror cinema was truly coming into its own. This remarkable print not only pays homage to one of cinema's most influential films but also serves as a testament to the enduring power and timeless appeal of these legendary
