[about making The Devil Bat (1940)] Oh, my God! I don't own that one on video; I wasn't even interested in it THEN! I wasn't interested in being in a picture of that kind at that time; I was terribly snobbish! It was quick and it was fast; they were out to get the money as quickly as possible. It was one of those kinds of pictures, a potboiler.
