  For the last of his cycle of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations Roger Corman asked screenwriter Robert Towne (Chinatown) to turn Poe s story Ligeia into another vehicle for Vincent Price who once again plays a man so haunted by his past that he is unable to function in the present. In this case the past comes in the form of his now-deceased first wife Ligeia who casts a long shadow over an ill-advised second marriage to a woman who resembles her (Elizabeth Shepherd) particularly when he becomes convinced that Ligeia s spirit is returning to him in the form of a black cat. But is this actually a delusion on his part? Although the doom-laden narrative and Price s tormented performance had become well established ingredients in the Corman Poe cycle the film looks strikingly different from the earlier films with much of it taking place in broad daylight and shot in actual English locations (notably Stonehenge and Norfolk s Castle Acre Priory) instead of Hollywood

• Room At The Top | DVD | (21/01/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  This brilliant British drama with potent social commentary and a superb cast portrays the story of a young man from a small mill town who claws his way to the top - any way he can! Laurence Harvey is the 'angry young man' who sacrifices his true love for the steamy Simone Signoret and marries the daughter of the factory boss just so he can get ahead. Signoret was imported from France to add the sex appeal and won herself an Academy Award for Best Actress for her efforts. Harvey was also nominated for his performance as the ruthlessly ambitious Joe Lampton his most famous role but lost out to Charlton Heston's Ben Hur. Neil Paterson also received an Oscar for Best Screenplay. A powerful adaption of the novel by John Braine with skillful direction from newcomer Jack Clayton.
