The Black Raven (1943)

Black Raven (1943) é un “B” película (enlace de afiliado) from Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC). George Zucco plays Amos Bradford aka the Raven, the owner of the Black Raven Inn. Bradford ends up hosting several unexpected guests, who are escaping a raging thunderstorm. The storm washed out all the bridges and stranded the visitors, which include a couple trying to elope, her wealthy father, who has chased them down, an embezzler, a gangster and various other players.

Bradford seems connected with several of the visitors through his mysterious past. An intruder is also prowling around the grounds. What will happen before the night is through? The film is a tight one hour. Zucco delivers a typical but extremely good performance as The Raven.
