Phibes
The Abominable Dr Phibes will always be a particular favorite of mine. I first saw it as a very small child and it gave me the dreadful creeps for days. Price was (and is) kind of a hero to me back then. His mannered, almost effete and obviously upper-class style spoke reams about the rot lying beneath the surface in all those well off homes on the other side of town.
Getting off point, I suppose, but anyway. The second Phibes was a disappointment to me. It didn't have the weird immediacy or the gut punch that the first had.
Any other fans of the good Dr? Anybody care to chat about Mr Price in general?
