4) Mae Clark (who's most famous moment in film was getting a grapefruit in the face from James Cagney, was old news by 1935. Valerie Hobson, whom I've never cared for (AT ALL) was all the rage. She soon faded. But, can't you just tell yourself that Mrs. Frankenstein colored her hair and be at peace;)

I didn't know about the two endings. The only thing I've ever heard about is censors cutting the scene where The Monster throws the little girl in the lake (which IMO, would make the movie much darker).
And honestly, my knowledge of old school horror movies is all recent. Sure I had watched all of these flicks when I was 5 or 6, because they would show them on the crappy local uhf channel. But this winter I made it a point to rewatch all of the classics and a few obscure oldies. I'm glad I did too, I've watched an asspile of great flicks that I would never have thought to watch
Just watched
It! The Terror from Beyond Space
Yeah... the acting is pretty sub par, and the special effects budget wouldn't be enough to buy a carton of cigarettes. In fact, you can't really use the term "Special" to describe the effects, unless you're thinking in terms of "Special Olympics". All that being said, I loved this flick! It's a 50's low budget Alien.
