One of my generous gentlemen sent me several DVDs for my birthday, including this Boris Karloff thriller, filmed only a year before his death in 1969. When it arrived, I hadn’t yet decided which movies to watch on my birthday (we generally do a triple feature), but since I’ve never seen it I decided to do a Karloff triple with Frankenstein (1931) and Isle of the Dead (1945). I also haven’t actually decided what I want to do for my birthday dinner; usually I prefer the sort of things that can easily be eaten in front of movies (finger foods and the like), and often end up doing a lot more work for my own celebration than one would expect! Chekhov says he’s bringing a cake, though, so that will be one thing I don’t have to deal with; it’s not so much the baking as the cleanup. So whatever I do choose to make, it’ll probably be something that doesn’t involve much more cleanup than loading the dishwasher; I don’t think taking it a little easy on my birthday is too much to ask.
