The session: "June is Corman! Corman is June!"
In memory of famed director (who died in May), Roger Corman, we view four films that he directed.

Directed by Roger Corman
My Level of Prior Knowledge
I hadn't heard of this.
Plot:
Two old sorcerers, jealous of each others' skills and loves, square off in a final battle.
Reaction and Other Folderol:
Featuring three big stars -- Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and Vincent Price, this was a really well done blend of comedy and magic. The stars were great -- that is, all except for Jack Nicholson, who seemed out of place. He came off more like an extra in an episode of Gidget. Still and all it was a fun watch.
The biggest drawback for me was the fact that, when it came down to it, this was another Vincent price in a castle movie. Those are just not my thing.
