Movie Reviews of The Mystery of the Wax Museum / 1933 / Fay Wray
Movie Review: Great Mystery Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The Mystery of the Wax Museum is one hour and seventeen minutes long and was released on February 17, 1933. The movie was shot in two-color Technicolor system. That uses the process combined red and green dyes to create a color image with a reduced spectrum. So rest assure when you are watching this movie you are not watching a colorize version of the movie. The movie starts is 1921 London where sculptor Ivan Igor (Lionel Atwill) runs a wax museum. Business is not doing well so his partner Joe Worth wants to collect on the fire insurance money. To do so he set the museum on fire. During this, Ivan Igor and Joe Worth get into a fight. Ivan is knock out and is left for dead. Fast forward twelve years later it is 1933 and we are in New York City or Londo (it is hard to tell sometimes). Ivan Igor has set up a new museum but uses dead people to be his wax models. News reporter Florence Dempsey (Glenda Farrell who steals the show) is looking into the missing corpses. She stumbles into Ivan Igor plans. Ivan Igor happens to see Charlotte Duncan (played by Fay Wray) and imagine her as his Marie Antoinette. Ivan captures her and begins to turn her into his immortal dead collection. The police arrive and Igor his shot and falls into boiling wax and Charlotte Duncan is rescued by her fiancé Ralph Burton. The only thing that I don't like about the movie is that Fay Wray gets second bill and she is shown for only twenty minutes in the movie. Still I am giving the movie an AAAA++++. Footnote: There is no difference between the DVD version and the VHS version. The DVD version does not come with anything special to it. No menu, no chapter or scene selection, no preview, nothing.

Bodies are mysteriously disappearing all over the town, and a new wax museum has just opened. Is there a connection ? But of course! In this horror classic, Fay Wray (King Kong) stars as the intended victim of a mad wax sculptor obsessed by her resemblance to one of his prior creations.Similar DVD Movies
