Old thread:

> Did Vincent Price ever achieve “A-list” status as an actor? It seems to me that most of his films that I’ve seen are a bit schlocky. And then, at one point he allowed himself to be involved in the marketing of the “Nishika”, an unbelievably tawdry stereo camera. After shooting a roll you had to send it to a PO box someplace in Arizona to have it developed. Any thoughts? Is my impression right on the money, or have I missed his good stuff?
