We look at 3 versions of the same story, The Bat (1959), The Whispering Bat (1930), The Bat (1926). The latter stars Vincent Price, but the earlier is perhaps more famous for inspiring Bob Kane to create the caped crusader known as The Batman. The Bat (1959): https://youtu.be/Zt1HaOM9LiE The Bat Whispers (1930): https://youtu.be/qhgEKm7-kOM The Bat (1926): https://youtu.be/O4EBDVNshuI Buy Robin's books: https://amzn.to/3kmGMD3 Facebook: http://on.fb.me/RvhRdc Twitter: https://twitter.com/DarkCorners3 @DarkCorners3 The Bat (1959): Mystery writer Cornelia Van Gorder has rented a country house called "The Oaks", which not long ago had been the scene of some murders committed by a strange and violent criminal known as "The Bat". Meanwhile, the house's owner, bank president John Fleming, has recently embezzled one million dollars in securities, and has hidden the proceeds in the house, but he is killed before he can retrieve the money. Thus the lonely country house soon becomes the site of many mysterious and dangerous activities. The Bat Whispers (1930): Despite advance warning to the police, who seal off the area, The Bat, a master criminal, steals a necklace from the safe in the house of a rich socialite. He leaves a note saying he is going to the country to give the police a rest. Pausing only to rob a bank at Oakdale, he proceeds to terrorise the occupants of a lonely country mansion, in a mixture of thrills, chills and laughs. At the end, an actor steps forward through a proscenium arch and asks the viewers not to reveal the Bat's identity to their friends. A film noir shot in black and white, mainly at night in dimly lit scenes. The Bat (1926): A master crook, known as "The Bat" because of his disguise, announces a jewel theft in advance but is foiled by a rival crook at the scene of the crime. Their trail leads to the Courtleigh Fleming estate, now leased to Cornelia Van Gorder, a wealthy spinster. The reported death of banker Fleming and the disappearance of Brooks Bailey, a young cashier in love with Dale (Miss Van Gorder's niece), add to the complications of a $200,000 bank robbery. Brooks, masquerading as a gardener, remains concealed in the house, hoping to unravel the mystery. Lizzie, a servant, suspects everyone, including Dr. Wells, the butler, and Detective Moletti. The Bat, who has killed Moletti and is impersonating him, is finally captured in a bear-trap. This video contains affiliate links. If you click on one of them, I'll receive a commission.
