Roy William Neill really delivered the goods with this worthy sequel for Chaney's Wolf Man, it's just an insult to the memory of Frankenstein. Ilona Massey's career had already peaked, but she had earlier appeared in Universal's INVISIBLE AGENT (it's the same character played by Evelyn Ankers in THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN). THE MUMMY'S HAND began the four picture Kharis series, the only one with marvelous George Zucco's high priest directing Tom Tyler's murderous Mummy (replaced by Lon Chaney in the other three). These characters are portrayed by an appealing cast, coupled with the best villains, vastly superior to its sequels. The care taken with Tyler's closeups allow him more range than Chaney, and the awful Mapleton hicks in THE MUMMY'S TOMB were simply obnoxious.kochillthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843717929648076583noreply@blogger.com
