One of the most overrated movies of all time

I've seen most of Karloff's films and enjoyed them all. Bedlam was on my list and I bought the DVD a few days ago.

WHAT a disappointment. The movie is around 70 minutes long and I am 40 minutes into it. It's all talk, long boring scenes. Feeble attempts at comedy and romance. No horror at all. And for about 10 minutes they've been talking about buying a parrot.

I've stopped and started the film several times. There are about 30 minutes left and I don't have the will to continue with this dross.

How the heck is this movie rated so highly??????????? That is madness!!
