[quote]Based upon the famous Edgar Allan Poe story, The Tell-Tale Heart is narrated in the first-person by James Mason, who starts out the story indignantly asking why one would call him mad. He then calmly and precisely relates the story of how he came to be obsessed with the Old Man who lived in the old house. Although the Old Man never harmed him nor did him wrong, he became tortured by his existence -- especially by his eye, the milky white film of which the Narrator soon imagined stared at him everywhere. The Narrator resolves to get rid of his enemy, and first makes sure that the Old Man will suspect nothing by gaining his trust. After waiting and watching with intense patience, he finally kills him late one night and disposes of the body by burying it beneath the floor and carefully replacing the floorboards. Police, having been alerted by a neighbor who head the Old Man's screams, arrive but see nothing amiss. The Narrator initially remains cool and calm and the police suspect nothing, but during their presence, the killer suddenly hears the Old Man's heart beating louder and louder. Eventually, certain that the police hear it as well and are just toying with him, he screams out his confession of guilt. ~ Craig Butler, All Movie Guide
This film was originally released in 3-D.
This was the first cartoon to be X-rated (adults only) in Great Britain under the British Board of Film Censors classification system; the first British cartoon to be so rated was "A Short Vision."
In 2001, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.[/quote]








Uno de mis cortos favoritos de toda la vida. La primera vez que pude ver esta adaptación de "El corazón delator" de E. A. Poe,
apenas tendría 11 años, desde entonces jamás he podido olvidarlo.
Producido por la mítica <a href=http://www.upapix.com/>UPA</a>, The Tell-Tale Heart es una pequeña obra maestra del cine,
que hace un impresionante uso de la fotografía y el color, todo acompañado por el exquisito diseño visual de la UPA.
El corto está en Versión original, pero es tan esplendoroso visual y auditivamente
(magníficas las voces de Stanley Baker y Jamen Mason) que su sola visión compensa cualquier esfuerzo.
Como curiosidad, este corto se cuenta como el primero en proyectarse originalmente en 3D.
Recomendación personal, sobre los originales literarios:

prólogo, traducción y notas de Julio Cortázar. Madrid: Alianza Editorial, 1998. Colección: El libro de bolsillo. Literatura 5506-5507. 2 v.
