Absolutely adore this film. It made me a Vincent Price fan. It's just an absolutely wonderful film with one of the best casts in British horror. Can definitely see why Price and Rigg look on it as their best work. Don't think it gets enough love or appreciation.
Saw this on the screen when I was an usher at the Bellair Cinema.
Diana Rigg totally ROCKED that tuxedo in the final scene.
She was gorgeous!
Absolutely spot on, and no doubt this review would've met with Edward Kendal Sheridan Lionheart's approval!
Well I'm certainly not going to attend an anonymous wine-tasting, dramatic reading, television interview, or hairdressing appointments any time soon!
@@MrStillSmiling Not simultaneously, I hope. Why worry, he'll get you while you sleep, NOBODY gets out alive!
A great film. Love it.
epic, I only saw it once...saw it as a young Canadian kid but was first introduced to Price with the Hilarious House of Frightenstein, also epic.
This is my all-time favourite movie. Diana Ring lamented that Price never played in a Shakespeare play or movie. She said he would have been great in such a role. That's high praise.
Its a black comedy masterpiece. Got i remember sitting on the sofa in the 1970s watching this on t.v gombsmacked!

Price doesn't 'tap in' to anything. He just recites a bunch of Shakespeare's more famous monologues during his routine series of murders (awfully fun for Price, obviously, but it's dull as dishwater to watch). It takes more than simple monologue recitation to tap into the work of Shakespeare, or of any other writer.
RADA & RSC veteran Dame Diana disagrees, she gave Price huge credit & lamented he didn't actually get to perform these roles on the stage, Vincent had a huge film career, going from historic roles & romantic leads to The King of Horror, comedy as well, he even hosted a Canadian children's show for a time. Theatre of Blood is obviously too good for you, that all-star cast of British thespians alone is enough to merit viewing, let alone the grotesque Shakespearean murders, the entire production makes this a black comedy classic as only the British could do it.

Forgive him, Lionheart!
He knoweth not what he sayeth!
@@unowen-nh9ov How lovely for Rotten Tomatoes.
@@MovieFan1912 Don't need any of Lion's forgives. I knows just what I does.
