i get to see this film last night on my local access channel and and i have such a good time with it . it remind me so clearly of the classic early warner brother cartoon about the fiend in the old house on stormy night and when you watch a movie like this and you can see the influence that inspire the great chuck jones . though i agree with the other reviewer that this movie be a bit muddled and i can not watch a movie like this from the perspective of it own time . it be so much a period piece . and that be the source of delight . the quality of the sound . the pop and crackle and the staged storm sound effect and the clothes and the lighting and the bumbling sheriff and the damsel in distress all come together to present a little gem out of time . i recommend this film a a charming visit with our history of movie making .
