In World War II Italy, Count Montressor has watched with horror as his former stable boy became a powerful Nazi general.

Knowing the General plans to murder him, Count Montressor lures him into the palace's catacombs to taste the rare cask of Amontillado he has procured.

Only a passing resemblance to the story by Poe.
But Bela Lugosi is great as always.
It is sad that the corporations that control the media have taken the power and immediacy of live television from us.

"A passing resemblence" ?
You're being too kind, Mrs. Montresor.

This crap feels like one of those fast-dialogue private-eye capers from the forties.

The Italian aristocrat speaks better English than his American interrogator whose vocabulary seems limited to Bazooka Joe comic strips.

The American interrogator is an aspiring Bowery Boy..
