*******************
Book info: German horror stylist Paul Leni (Variety) brings his
expressionist flourishes to this compendium of haunted clichés,
creating one of the most stylish horror movie spoofs ever, a
delightful mix of the gothic and the goofy. A greedy bunch of
gargoyle-looking relatives (and a pair of young innocents) gather for
the reading of a rich uncle's will, which demands that they spend the
night in the creepy old mansion. Leni puts them through a fun house of
frights: As if secret panels, clutching hands, and a stopped clock
that mysteriously comes to life weren't enough, an escaped lunatic
from a nearby asylum who rends his victims with catlike claws may have
infiltrated the house. Silent movie sweetheart Laura La Plante is the
canary of the title, a lovely would-be heiress who becomes the target
of plotting relatives, but it's the rogues gallery of suspects that
adds the color and comic relief. Leni kicks the film off with a
delirious scene of an infirm old man surrounded by gigantic bottles of
medicine and menaced by a snarling, spitting. gargantuan cat. The rest
of the film is played in lower key, for laughs as much as chills, but
it never loses its moody ambiance, highlighted by elegant camerawork
and looming shadows. This classic has been remade three times, most
famously by Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard in 1939, but never as well.
The hilarious Harold Lloyd short Haunted Spooks has been included as a
DVD bonus. --Sean Axmaker --This text refers to the DVD edition.
