The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)
Country: US
Technical: bw 67m
Director: Erle C. Kenton
Cast: Cedric Hardwicke, Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, Lionel Atwill, Ralph Bellamy
Synopsis:
Ludwig Frankenstein means to exchange his creature's brain for another less unstable, but does not reckon with interference from others such as his assistant Ygor.
Review:
More torch-bearing mobs, disintegrating castles and the silliest title yet, though there is a brief appearance of a would-be Colin Clive phantom. The production is competent as usual, but nothing is very outstanding and the monster is of less interest than before. The most patent of the film's absurdities must be that of a skilled physician such as Atwill overlooking something like blood type compatibility! Effective moments include the monster's self-revelation in Igor's voice after several reels of muteness - not even the tiniest little snarl.
