...This moldering manse is presided over by one-eyed Count von Bruno (Stephen McNally), with a mute Lon Chancy as his doorman and Boris Karloff acting as his house physician. When dashing Sir Richard Burton (Richard Greene) arrives at the black castle, he is i) attacked by a black leopard during a hunting party, 2) almost immersed in an alligator pit, 3) thrown into a subterranean torture chamber, 4) prepared for burial alive.

Hemingway's Snows of Kilimanjaro starts with a terse and inscrutable paragraph about a dead leopard atop a snow-clad African mountain. That paragraph stopped 20th Century Fox dead in its tracks.

...flight precipitates enough of a crisis for the father to vow a new family existence. There is a festive Sunday breakfast, much talk of a fine vacation. But for all the promises, the future doesn't look promising; the worm that seems to turn is still a leopard cursed with his spots. It is a chronicle of countless families whose struggle is less for bread than for something more than bread, and who are riot 1 ^o callous to love, but too burdened. If not successful, Sunday Breakfast is generally interesting and fitfully touching. One big difficulty is that...
