Scary talented
Having grown up in the ‘60s when Vincent Price was ubiquitous in movies, on TV, even touring the college lecture circuit, I rejoice that the actor is still very much with us (“The Sinister Style of Vincent Price,” March 20). While the American Cinematheque’s mini-Vinnie festival emphasizes Price’s mastery of menace, I hope it will inspire audiences to seek out other aspects of this Renaissance man’s cinematic oeuvre. A perusal of Lucy Chase Williams’ compendium, “The Complete Films of Vincent Price,” will guide the way, and there could be no better movie to start with than the long-awaited DVD release this month of Otto Preminger’s classic “Laura” (a disc whose extras include A&E;’s “Biography” of Price).
