The Raven 1963

In this tongue-in-cheek movie inspired by Poes poem, Dr. Craven is the son of a great sorcerer (now dead) who was once himself quite skilled at that profession, but has since abandoned it. One evening, a cowardly fool of a magician named Bedlo comes to Craven for help - the evil Scarabus has turned him into a raven and he needs someone to change him back. He also tells the reluctant wizard that Cravens long-lost wife Lenore, whom he loved greatly and thought dead, is living with the despised Scarabus.
