OVAL PORTRAIT, THE
(AKA: ONE MINUTE BEFORE DEATH)(1972)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics

Poe! Edgar Allan Poe!! How can you go wrong?
With this movie, another great representation
of Poe's writings, you can't!!! Unfortunately
I don't remember reading this particular story
of the same name from the great one, but this
is really quite good!! The only drawback is a
couple of the actors are pretty stiff! B+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

The Oval Portrait is based on a short story by
Edgar Allan Poe. Poe's story is one of his
shortest only two pages long. So to create
a film that is around 1 1/2 hours long must
have been a difficult task but it was done
with this film - and beautifully I must add.

This is a film that has escaped me for years.
I acquired a copy of this one from the Pure
Terror 50 Movie Pack and I am pleased this
film was added to the collection.

Overall this is a good film - especially
if you are interested in movies that are
based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. I
was not disappointed with this film
adaptation.
