Watched It Tonight, Better Than I Remember


It is not at a clever, and in terms of the story it's pretty bad, but it's such a joy to watch, and listen, to Karloff in the mad scientist role. Great as he was as the monster, he was wasted in those non-speaking roles. Naish is great as the Hunchback, Zucco is superb in his tiny role, and Lionel Atwill is, as ever, Lionel Atwill. Not the best of the Frankenstein films, but certainly an enjoyable one.

This is probably considered the best in the series because it has the most monsters plus a mad scientist and a hunchback

It does, but the police inspector has both his arms, which brings the enjoyment factor down considerably.

Millsey is trolling you. Read some of his other posts and you will see. As to enjoyable that varies with the person.

You can't tell that my tongue-in-cheek answer is me playing along with him? I'd call him more of a practical jokester than a troll, and I often join in the fun with my responses to his posts.

Good gosh, I know people whose elevator doesn't go up to the top floor, but yours can't even leave the lobby
