Yup, the casting possibilities are *endless*. BTW IIRC _Bedlam_ is due
for a DVD release next month. Those Val Lewton films done on a budget
are some of the scarier ones around:

The Val Lewton Horror Collection: (Cat People / The Curse of the Cat
People / I Walked with a Zombie / The Body Snatcher / Isle of the Dead
/ Bedlam / The Leopard Man / The Ghost Ship / The Seventh Victim /
Shadows in the Dark)
