Movie Reviews of Karloff & Lugosi Horror Classics (The Walking Dead / Frankenstein 1970 / You'll Find Out / Zombies on Broadway)
Movie Review: Karloff, Bela Lugois, and Peter Lorre! Need I say more?
Summary: 5 Stars
I urge you to buy this collection for the movie "You'll find Out".
One dark and stormy night... there was this gorgous 40's horror-comedy.
WHO: A beautiful young heiress. A few classic "who-done-it" guests. Plus, swinging "Kay Kyser and his collage of musical knowledge."
WHERE: A huge spooky mansion cramed full of attractive young girl friends, stuffed tigers, african tribal masks, and looming tikis.
WHEN: A dark stormy night, and (of course) the only bridge leading to town, is blown up, or "...struck by lighting" as Boris explains. They are trapped.
THEN: introduce the Unholy Three: the greatest villains of the 40's era silver screen - Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Peter Lorre.
Lightning! Thunder! flickering Lights! Musical numbers! Spooky high camp fun.
Boris Karloff lurks from the shadows in his distinguished suave menacing best.
Lorre: ultra cool-creepy sleepy-eyed chain-smoking dangerously purrs and doubts the supernatural powers of Lugosi. So, what happens then?
WHAT? A Seance!
Bela: "Very well. For you I will do it. But, I must warn you... for those who scoff at their exsistance, the spirits consider no punishment too drastic!"
The seance is the show stopper scene of the film. Lugosi commands elaborate props, floating objects, the "fires of death", evil spirits! Wonderful!
A beautiful transfer. Some great sets, costumes, and 40's effects. I dare you to watch the seance scene and not smile: Lugosi goes into a trance while Kyser conducts his band with a glowing baton. Before "rock and roll" there was "big band" music. Kay Kyser was big on stage antics. He was the Kiss of the 40's. Karloff glares. Lorre smokes and plays detective. The art direction and "Kitch" factor are well off the scale on this one. Primo stuff for retro-film buffs.
The other big find in this collection is a rousing commentary for "Frankenstein 1970" by Bob Burns, Charlotte Austin, and Tom Weaver. What a delightful special feature! Lot's of behind the scenes stories, Hollywood memories, and even a discussion of the heart pounding "1952 Armed Forces Radio" Halloween "gag-that-almost-went-too-far" that was the core idea for this film. Very interesting stuff!
Well worth the money for these vintage treasures!
Buy it. Watch it. Love it.
