The Bat (1959)

Filmed before in 1915, 1926 and 1930, the old-fashioned Mary Roberts Rinehart novel gets remade once more with Agnes Moorehead as a mystery writer who rents a house with a million dollars hidden in it. Bodies pile up as the mysterious Bat tries to find the money first.

Vincent plays a red-herring doctor/murderer with some catchy one-liners. Dated, but the poster is fab, as is Louis Forbes¼ theme tune.
