Source Writer Edgar Allan Poe
Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Dir/Cast Commentary

The great Vincent Price stars in this quintessential adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe story. Hopeful Phillip (Mark Damon) rides up to the crumbling Usher estate to pick up his betrothed, Madeline (Myrna Fahey), and is coldly received by her brother, Roderick (Price). A most unwilling host, Roderick suffers from "morbid acuteness of the senses" and is convinced their family lineage--and the very house itself--is cursed by the evil deeds of their forebears. He is sworn to do everything in his power to keep his sister from leaving with Phillip--even burying her alive--to stop her from continuing their damned lineage. Roger "King of the Bs" Corman got permission from his producers to make this, his first film in color and with a recognizable star, for the same price as two of his usual black-and-white films. The result was a smash hit with critics and audiences, and Corman made seven more. This is still one of the best, with a comparatively restrained performance by Price, good set design and photography, and eerie music by the legendary Les Baxter.

Fall Of The House Of Usher Reviews:

"...A rainy-night blast..." -- Mike Flaherty, Entertainment Weekly

"...Arguably the best film of Corman's career..." -- Mike Clark, USA Today

This is the only Myrna Fahey video.

4 stars top notch Roger Corman
seeing as dvd's look different from tv to tv I can only say this looked clear and detailed but a bit to dark on my tv. On my parents larger tv (both are not widescreen) it's not as dark but looks a little more like video casette quality with just a little improvement over the tape version. I would've needed my tape copy with me to compare it to find out. It's still not a bad job though and the movie is fun.

3 stars Great old classic
This movie gets the viewer emotionally involved in the plot. You may want things to speed up a little bit, but that is what adds to the suspense. Cruel and sad ending........

DVD $15.69  5 stars Top 500
Shot in Salzburg against the majestic Bavarian Alps, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is considered one of the greatest screen musicals ever made. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Robert Wise), the film, based on a real family and their true events, tells the story of a young postulate, Maria (Julie Andrews), who, after proving too high-spirited for the Mother Abess and other nuns, is sent off to work as a governess to seven unruly children. The Von Trapp family is run, in military style, by the seemingly cold-hearted Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), a lonely widowed naval officer. Seeing how badly he and his children need companionship, he proposes to the Baroness Schraeder (Eleanor Parker), a calculating, mutual friend of beloved family friend Max Detweiler (Richard Haydn). It is the baroness who soon realizes that it's Maria--with her warmth and love ...
