Crimes at the Dark House "One of many adaptations ofWilkie Collins's The Woman in White, this is certainly the most exuberant, andalso the definitive showcase for Tod Slaughter's jovial, lecherousvillainy."-William K. Everson. "Maybe my personalfavorite 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 Victorianactors (fine ones) must have been when hamming it up outrageously. It isincredible. I love this picture and could see it every day."-Elliott Stein,critic, Village Voice
