The Strange Door (Boris Karloff)

[auntbecky]

I have to be quite strange for I have always found Mr. Pratt to be quite attractive.

[harsishava]

@auntbecky That really isn't strange, he was attractive!

Great film that united two great actors...Boris Karloff and Charles Laughton, who isn't in this video, but was mentioned several times. He's the one Boris is afraid of.

[komodoman]

It's the stuff right before this bit that amuses me more, the old guy's insane giggling to himself... lol But yeah, Karloff is great in this somewhat dimwitted role and Laughton's good too.

[ghostees62]

one of the most brillant actors of our time.

[libertatus]

For what it's worth, the cutie @ 3:06 is (I think) Sally Forrest.

[Jenga666]

Thanks for uploading. Karloff is the man.

[caprice6]

He was Christopher Lee's neighbor for many years.

[mackvandyke]

Who?

[gtrfinger]

He's actually my great aunt's brothers son's wife's sister's grandfather, but a fine actor.

[prophetofog]

Fascinating.

[swallin19]

@hamtrak Boris Karloff was your "grandmother"?, surely "Grandfather".... Yes W.H. Pratt, my Grandfather played against him at Cricket in the UK in 1933, at Southborough in Kent, where the team bat signed by W.H. Pratt is still on display at the local Publc House.(A Bar to US readers!) next to the Cricket ground. I meet him once, a real gentleman.

@hamtrak you mean grandfather?

[giulene]

@hamtrak you mean grandfather? and I think he was from England.

boris karloff is not his real name it is william henrey pratt he is my great great grandfather

[prophetofog]

How does a 69-year-old woman have a 46-year-old great-grandchild? There must be some sort of weird time dilation on YouTube...

[XMaggotMurderdollX]

owned

[auntbecky]

@prophetofog i was just thinking the same thing.....i knew sarah jane wasn't that old. she might be a great grandmother but they'd have to be awfully young.

Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. I've done another clip on some old cigarette cards of 1930's actors and actresses: Boris Karloff from The Mummy,Gracie Fields, Florence Desmond, Charles Laughton, Laurence Olivier and many more.
