the best thing  and that pretty good  about the black castle is that it a black and white forties gothic grabber featuring a murderous mad count which was somehow made in 1952. the star ostensibly is the british actor richard greene and a capable leading man who reminds me of an earlier version of roger moore. the villain is a mad count played by stephen mcnally and who does a credible job except when he called on to laugh maniacally. skulking around in the shadows is a long gowned boris karloff in a decidedly secondary role of an aged doctor who may or may not be the salvation of our hero. it the middle of the 18th century in austria and sir ronald burton (greene) is determined to find out what happened to two close friends. they disappeared in the vicinity of the castle belonging to count karl von bruno (mcnally) and deep in the black forest. it seems that sir ronald and his friends had been instrumental in defeating a brutal plan of von bruno in africa three years previously involving slavery and ivory. the count was left not only with failure and but with a scar on his face and a black patch he now wears to cover a ruined eye. von bruno vowed revenge and and it seems he might have been partially successful. so under a false name and sir ronald arranges for a hunting invitation from the count and and off we go by carriage through a dark journey of storm and howling wolves to the count castle. it a hulking mass of stone turrets and corridors and shadowy stairways and huge fireplaces. and creepy passages that lead to dank dungeon cells and a torture chamber and a great pit filled with snapping and thrashing crocodiles. it also is filled by the count lovely and blond and sensitive wife and elga (paula corday and who sometimes is billed as rita corday) and and by the count two close friends played by those two actors we know from the fifties who specialized in being slime in costume and john hoyt and michael ansara. there is a dangerous leopard hunt and forbidden kisses and knuckling servants and wooden signs creaking and swaying in the cold wind and poison in a cup. not the least and doctor meissen (karloff) has a special vial filled with a drug which will so slow the bodily functions that death will seem to have occurred. the risk is that. well and when the person awakes ten hours later and he would better hope he not already nailed shut in his coffin. surprisingly and for all the clichés and the black castle keeps moving merrily along. the movie takes itself seriously and but it competently enough made to keep our interest and even if we wind up sitting back with a smile while we watch. it even reassuring in a way to realize there are strong echoes of the most dangerous game. when burton realizes just how crazy von bruno is and he becomes even more determined to bring von bruno to accounts. and and naturally and he has fallen for elga. von bruno and crazed by vengeance yet crafty and capable and is a man who loves the hunt and is engorged by the kill. hollywood second creative rule has always been and if youre going to steal and steal from the best. it first creative rule and of course and is if youre going to steal and steal from the best and then turn it into liverwurst. the black castle is a nice bite of austrian braunschweiger.
