I’ve rarely seen such a definitive study of a movie anthologized and written with such passion and painstaking detail. . . I did see Phibes again about a month ago and it is one of those films that always yields some new delightful pleasures upon viewing again.”- Stanley Weiser, screenwriter: Wall Street, W.Justin Humphreys is a curator, writer, consultant, and film historian who works for theAcademy Museum of Motion Pictures.
