This is true magic. You will be shaking but not through horror. The Raven was made to amuse and it does.
The magician's duel may lack 'modern effects' but for their day they were pretty impressive. And the warmth and humour shines out in all the characters.
And yes, Peter Lorre dressed up as a Raven IS hilarious.
