The ending certainly made further sequels problematic (is The Monster now supposed to be Ygor?), but the fiery climax, quite gruesome for its time, did reappear in HOUSE OF DRACULA. Plus, pairing Bela with Lionel Atwill always made for solid entertainment. Karloff and Lorre first met on the set of CHARLIE CHAN AT THE OPERA, and were teamed at least 5 times over the next 27 years (this film, YOU'LL FIND OUT, THE RAVEN, THE COMEDY OF TERRORS, and the "Lizard's Leg and Owlet's Wing" episode of TV's ROUTE 66). They provide virtually what little life this title has, an obvious ripoff of Karloff's concurrent Broadway success in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. I agree that 'Miss Jeff Donnell' was an attractive, underrated presence at Columbia, seen in the WHISTLER, I LOVE A MYSTERY, and BOSTON BLACKIE series, as ubiquitous as Nina Foch. I last saw her on KOLCHAK:THE NIGHT STALKER ("The Knightly Murders"), selling Kolchak a coat of arms based on his Polish heritage (the lion of Warsaw?).kochilltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589405220008327551.post-34297226354312587982011-10-24T00:24:15.789-05:002011-10-24T00:24:15.789-05:00"The Ghost of Frankenstein" was the four..."The Ghost of Frankenstein" was the fourth film in Universal Frankenstein series. Although the budget and the operating time is reduced, is still an entertaining movie.Openbox S10http://satandcable.com/content/openbox-s10-hd-pvr-satellite-receivernoreply@blogger.com
