- The film may be the last of the "old age" comedies that were popular during that time. Tom Poston does a good job of not only showing fear but does so in comedy style to allow us, the viewers, to use our imagination. While The Old Dark House may not live up to today's standards, it was a "movie of the day" in 1963.
