PRICELESS

Excuse the pun--I didn't realize I'd made one until I'd typed it, but ANYway...

I had only seen this movie once, when I was just a kid. I'm in the middle of watching it (DVD on pause), and I wanted to come on here and see what you all are saying about it. I can certainly appreciate this movie on some different levels at this point, and there's no question that I've always had great affection for that great character, Vincent Price. He seemed to me to be a man of amazing humor--here is one thing I missed before in Dr. Phibes, but did not fail to miss this time:


The part where Dr. Phibes has drained the blood out of the doctor, and left it on a table, above which there is a semi-nude painting. Price just HAD to be improvising this when he goes to leave, then pauses, walks back into frame and stares straight at the painting. He gives it a look, and then his head turns towards the dead doctor, with such a deadpan, "shake-your-head-at-this-guy's-bad-taste" look on his face, then he turns and silently glides away again.

Magic....

Anyone else have a favorite moment?
