Tales of Manhattan (1942)
A cursed tailcoat weaves through the lives of various characters in this anthology of interconnected stories. Ten screenwriters bring to life the misfortunes experienced by those unfortunate enough to don the ill-fated garment. Each segment reveals how the coat alters destinies, blending humor and drama in a uniquely engaging way. Notably, the video release includes a W.C. Fields segment, adding extra charm not seen in the original theatrical cut. The film cleverly explores themes of luck and consequence against the backdrop of Manhattan's vibrant scene.
