Description

A huge radio hit through the wartime years and beyond, The Man in Black mesmerised millions of listeners with his macabre tales, making Valentine Dyall a household name for his star turn as the sepulchral storyteller. An early showing for the macabre side of Hammer's output and a key entry in their run of successful radio adaptations for cinema, The Man in Black has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives. Willed the bulk of his wealthy estate when her father dies while attempting an unusual psychic experiment, Joan Clavering's delicate sensibilities are soon seen as an easy target for gaslighting by her vindictive stepmother.
