FILM 1707: TALES OF TERROR
TRIVIA: The "Black Cat"
segment was recycled for The Comedy of Terrors (1963) (even the presence of a
meddlesome cat). Many of the same actors appear in both films, only here Peter Lorre plays
the drunk married to devoted Joyce Jameson, with Vincent Priceintroduced
as the third member of the triangle; in "Comedy of Terrors" Price and
Lorre exchange roles, and Jameson essentially repeats her performance. Not only
that, but Price's line "What place is this?" from the "M.
Valdemar" segment of "Tales of Terror" is recycled as a running
gag for Basil Rathbone in "Comedy of Terrors".
