The Raven. 1963.
Classic Corman movie that spoofs on the Edgar Allan Poe story's with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff as three magicians which one is turned to a raven and seeks help by another who enters a duel with a powerful magician. This has always been a delightful movie about ambition, treachery and magic, with a wonderful duel of magicians and lots of humor. The raven is hilarious and it is impressive his training with participation in many scenes. The special effects are simple but impressive for a 1960s movie and a early appearance from Jack Nicholson and always lovely seeing Hazel Court being dazzling.
