I agree that he's a very urbane villain, but he certainly doesn't carry the movie. Though he's first billed, his character is not much more than a support for Cornelia Van Gorder and Andy Anderson.🐭
shareGood Vincent Price scene that you described. I'm a huge Vincent Price fan. But I don't think that he has enough screen time to make it his film entirely.

The movie started out like it was going to be boring, but the moment Price shot his companion at the mountain cabin it suddenly got interesting.
sharePrice is magnetic. I really liked Agnes Moorehead, as well. When they were on screen - alone or together - the movie perked up a lot. I thought it dragged a little in other places, and a lot of the supporting cast are a little lethargic (notwithstanding the cop who got drugged, of course!)
I wished they had given Cornelia the final moment, though. (SPOILER ALERT, for anybody who cares...)
Warner's entrance at the end was fine, I suppose, but they made such a big deal out of Cornelia actually being able to handle her gun that it was a let-down to have her helpless at the end. I thought the Bat levelling the pistol in his moment of triumph should have ended with Cornelia pulling her own pistol and plastering him. I liked that Warner was cleared of it, and that he actually proved quite heroic, but I wish it had been Cornelia.
I understand that. It still, doesn't excuse the way he treated you.
