Tales of Manhattan 1942
An anthology in which ten screenwriters each present a story about a tailor‑cursed tailcoat and the strange consequences it brings to its wearers. The film blends humor and superstition, with each writer exploring the garment’s eerie influence. The video edition adds a previously omitted W.C. Fields segment not seen in the original theatrical run.
