Notes & Trivia[]
- Based on the play "The Cat and the Canary" by John Willard.
- Is a remake of the 1927 silent film The Cat and the Canary as well as the 1930 lost film The Cat Creeps. It was a common practice during the early days of talkies to recreate American films with a foreign cast, usually Spanish, French or German. La voluntad del muerto was filmed at the same time as The Cat Creeps.
- Alternatively known as The Creeping Cat, The Cat Creeps, The Cat and the Canary and The Will of the Dead Man.
- Director Enrique Tovar Ávalos also co-directed the Spanish version of Drácula along with George Melford, but was uncredited in the film. Enrique's work with the cast was a vital element to the film since Melford could not speak or understand Spanish.
- Actress Lupita Tovar, who plays Anita, also appeared in Drácula in the role of Eva Seward.
- Presented by Carl Laemmle.
