'Boris Karloff: The Man Behind The Monster'

This is the title of a documentary film about his life currently in the post-production stage. Somehow Boris Karloff will narrate the movie himself. So presumably there are recordings of him existing telling his own life story. There are a host of people being interviewed in the film.

Among the interviewees will be Roger Corman who was associated with two of Karloff's 1960s horrors. 'The Raven' and 'The Terror.' I don't think that Caroline Munro was in any films with Karloff but has made plenty of horrors. She gives her memories. Among other who are also interviewed in the documentary are Christopher Plummer and Peter Bogdanovich and Stephanie Powers.

Could be interesting. Any links to further info, the imdb description is barebones:

Not a lot on IMDb about it at the moment as you say. It's good to get to see that great poster for the documentary on there though.

They've put a five minute trailer for this on the IMDb page now. And a running time of 3 hours 12 minutes. I'm sure that running time has now nearly doubled since a year ago. The project's still in the post-production stage though.

Thanks for those two links. It looks as though they were running short of money to make this documentary but I hope there won't be too long a hold-up for it's release.
