Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado
Description
The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as best I could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge. So speaks Montresor in this faithful rendition of Edgar Allan Poe's chilling story of a murderous trap irresistibly baited with fine wine and flattery. Strong performances and outstanding cinematography make this classic program-an object of considerable critical acclaim at film festivals-an excellent introduction to the work of the master of the American gothic genre.
