There's a later de Cordova film, EL ESQUELETO DE SEŅORA MORALES aka THE SKELETON OF MRS. MORALES (1960), that adds a generous dollop of black humor to the horror proceedings. It seems to be available in some format, along with another, earlier "spooky noir" with de Cordova, EL HOMBRE SIN ROSTRO (1950). There just really needs to be a de Cordova festival to capture all this. Eddie, if you're lurking, get on the ball and put it together for 2023, which would be the 50th anniversary of de Cordova's death.
