    Overview of the career of the legendary producer who reluctantly made some of most poetic horror movies of the 1940s for RKO. Those who are already fans will appreciate the review and the bits of trivia, and newcomers may be inspired to check out hidden classics like CAT PEOPLE and THE BODY SNATCHER.
