1980
The house used in The Cat and the Canary (1978) was also used in The Omen (1976) (Gregory Peck) as the ambassador's home.
"The Cat and the Canary (1978)" title is referenced in John Willard's source play where wealthy eccentric, Cyrus West, says of his family members, "I have watched my wealth as if they were cats, and I, a canary".
The picture is considered a curio in the canon of director Radley Metzger whose body of work comprises mainly soft-core erotic dramas. This film was Metzger's only non-adult movie.
Wilfrid Hyde-White filmed his lengthy cameo in a day.
The character of Crosby the lawyer was originally male and the role was offered to James Mason. After a number of actors passed, the role was changed to female and Wendy Hiller got the part.
"Cyrus West: Good evening, leeches. Take your places. As you know, I am Cyrus West. Now first of all, let me tell you that you're all a bunch of bastards. I know, I know the people you came from. They're all a bunch of bastards. Yes, your fathers, your mothers, your uncles, your aunts, your nephews, your nieces, your sons, your daughters, not to mention a cartload of cousins. All a bunch of bastards except, of course, Mew Mew, and perhaps one or two others. Perhaps I'm the biggest bastard of you all, to bring you here this night, so distant in the future, and to sit here contemplating the interaction of you parasites."
"Paul Jones: Wanna hear my new song? I wrote it while I was unconscious. It's called 'Kiss My Heiress'."
