What I like most about the film is that the criminals (Neville Brand and Frank Gorshin) play their roles in a most tough and serious way. Normally the Disney villains are comical buffoons but these guys are mean and scary,more suited to a film noir than a kiddie film.
What did you think of them?
I agree. they are actually quite frightening. real grown up villains.
