1936. Karloff 48. Marsh, 22. Karloff playing 2 roles was exceptionally well done on the scree., Photography, costumes, and sets were 1st class. Outstanding! Thank you.
Karloff said "It's quite unusual for me to be able to get my make-up on in less than an hour as I can for this role." The original working title of the film was THE BLACK ROOM MYSTERY but was released as simply THE BLACK ROOM. Audiences responded enthusiastically to the film, but critics felt it was so-so. Katherine de Mille, btw, was Cecil B.'s adopted daughter. Thanks for the upload!
Boris Karloff was such a great Actor ! I never saw this movie before. I love how he ( Karloff as the bad brother) is reclining in the chair with his one leg casually draped over the arm of the chair talking,while facing his enemies. I feel bad he was type cast to a specific Genre,but it worked so well for him, and he seemed to accepted it. Jonathan Frid from the TV show "Dark Shadows" was also one who had amazing talent but was known for playing a certain type of character, You could see he had an acting style much like Karloff,and struggled with only being known for playing "Barnabas Collins". Marion Marsh was so beautiful !
I am delighted to have found this film. I saw it as a teenager, a mere 55 years ago. I have always remembered the evil brother's monologue about his love of pears. "I like the feel of a pear". The villians always have the best lines. The quality of this print is exceptional.
A "B" which breaks out of bounds. Great work from Karloff, exquisite Germanic lighting, and some really clever split screen work, even including two pan shots!
Good print. Good production values, sets, extras.... Was rooting for Anton, but no Hollywood ending for him. Liked the use of mirrors throughout the film. The dual roles give Karloff to exude mildness and menace. B+
All great!!! Katherine De Mille was always too so great ....wow shes in another awesome movie w BK ..." UNCONQUERED" w Gary Cooper & Paulette Goodard....they play American Indians father & daughter .........
During the wedding - supposedly in 19th-century Roman Catholic Hungary - the choir sings the "Our Father" (Otche Nash) in Church Slavonic, the liturgical language of the Slavic Orthodox Churches. Anyone know why?
Where was this supposed to be set? Budapest was mentioned. At the wedding scene, they used Old Slavonic Orthodox hymns, culminating with the Lord's Prayer even though the church wasn't Orthodox, looked more Catholic. Creative license I suppose. The Hungarian Kingdom (ended after WWI) did include Orthodox Rusyns in Transcarpathia, as well as Orthodox Romanians and Orthodox Serbs further south. Anyway, the movie captured the mood of Eastern Europe pretty well.
What if the brother was spared just before gunshot. As in Charles Days of Glory depictions by a generous General cos I was more than a mother. In the Veil ...and It was desperate men which designed the fate a la Boyer.

Karloff appeared to be relishing his dual role and that he "makes the most of some Hays Code defying hints of blasphemy." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Room_(1935_film)

I had to tape over the Livestream "bug" to watch this, but it's a pretty good copy with good sound.
Thanks for the info!

What a beautifully made film. Technically it still sets a high standard.
Marian Marsh was one of the few truly incandescent beauties of the Golden Age of Hollywood, but is not remembered adequately. I do not know why.
@1LSWilliam 😲 * Perhaps, (See the Following Link) THIS will help….
* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Marsh
"Incandescent"? 🧐
Agreed. I just watched her in a film called Under Eighteen yesterday.
Because her films are not shown in mainstream tv.
Wow, a Boris Karloff I've never even heard of !! 🤩

I know me too😢
Directed by Roy William Neill, who went on to direct most of Universal's Sherlock Holmes series with Basil Rathbone in the 1940's.
And a very good director, too. It's surprising he didn't get bigger projects.
I haven't seen this one in YEARS. Thank you, but it leaves me with terrible depression.
Thanks i was looking for this movie
great movie
All great!!! Katherine De Mille was always too so great ....wow shes in another awesome movie w BK ..." UNCONQUERED" w Gary Cooper & Paulette Goodard....they play American Indians father & daughter .........
The best I've seen in such a long time

The countryside for that region looks like the desert!
Great movie 😊
A good movie in 60min.

Creepy creeps are everywhere
don't display intrusive ads during climactic moments, you philistine!

THE BLACK ROOM
When they showed the horses getting the cold showers over Dundee. DUNE and DOCK A SUBLIME SUPERIOR IN THE GUILD O RHINELANDS
They didn't cos. I got them
Stream City makes noises during the movie to advertise their channel. Avoid!
How can two younsters grow up to look like 50+ Boris Karloff just twenty years later?Think about it.

Permutation Combination of the individual with the dog 🐕 for interruption. Many a Window la Windsor I opened. wedding vows
why would he keep his arm folded when he is alone??
He was born with that birth defect.
protective gesture ...
he's trying to train himself so it will be automatic when in company
It's a 🪰 🐉 tadpole doggone world 🌎 👓 👓 👓 👓 👓

God awful
You obviously don't know what a Good Film is...😅 LOL ... just my opinion
Karloff appeared to be relishing his dual role and that he "makes the most of some Hays Code defying hints of blasphemy." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Room_(1935_film)
Too old for the part.He was 50 plus.
An evil twin brother disposes of his enemies in a secret death chamber on his estate.
Good for you.
