HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN on Svengoolie. Boris Karloff was ideal as the evil mad scientist hell-bent on revenge and John Carradine as a more faithful to the book Dracula. Didn't look it up to see how many stars Maltin gave it but it doesn't matter. Great movie from a great era.

You're right about the dialogue in Double Indemnity and Edward G Robinson-great onscreen chemistry in it :) |
I just watched a Boris Karloff film I had never seen:
The Man With Nine Lives Also a futuristic film made in the late 1930's called Things To Come with Raymond Massey. 1953 War Of The Worlds. I think that I have watched this movie more than any other. The Devil Doll with Lionel Barrymore The Giant Gila Monster and the great Bela Lugosi in the creepy White Zombie I see where someone watched The Golem (1920) recently. I have to get out my copy and watch that classic again as well as the scary Nesferatu with Max Screck. Dat's bout it! http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9853/bessielou.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us The Duchess |
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941): Some great acting in this one, that in many ways rivals the 1931 classic. Little bit of a slow burner and doesnt quite generate enough atmosphere from the story, but some of the scenes are real quality. Amazing performance from Spencer Tracy in the dual role, showing a huge change in character with limited make-up. His scenes with Bergman are quality. Despite often being overlooked in favor of the 1931 version, this is an quality adaptation and well worth a watch.
