One of many adaptations of Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White, this is certainly the most exuberant, and also the definitive showcase for Tod Slaughter's jovial, lecherous villainy (William K. Everson). Maybe my personal favorite of all Everson's films is Crimes at the Dark House with Tod Slaughter. The Slaughter performance is like nothing in sound cinema-it is the way Victorian actors (fine ones) must have been when hamming it up outrageously. It is incredible. I love this picture and could see it every day (Elliot Stein).
