I've often wondered just why Duke Moore had to be dressed in a tuxedo during the first half of Night of the Ghouls. Now I know. Ed tried to sell this television pilot but got no takers. He couldn't let this valuable footage go to waste so he inserted it into NOTG even though it makes no sense in the movie, either, thus Duke having to match up with the stock footage. Wood must have learned film producing under Jules White. Final Curtain is an Ed Wood stream of conciousness, which means it's about twice as long as it should be. As a one reeler it might have been OK, but at 2 reels it's strictly for the Ed Wood completist that has to see everything.
