★★★★ · Good Dramatic Performance · Inez Moxley · 2023-03-17
A pleasant trip down memory lane... A great performance by Vincent Price
★★★ · Imperfectly Perfect · PATRICIA MCCAIN WILLIAMS · 2023-08-22
***An ensemble of humans led by the perfectly saturnine Vincent Price diaplays love in its multiple facets. As a revenge play, the helpless immorality of each character seeking it contributes to final revenge as the audience cheers!! P@ M. Wms.
