I didnt think Lugosi was that bad


I thought Lugosi walking manner wasn't any different from Chaney's or Strange's? I also like the evil smirks he makes sometimes. Some seem to think he was shorter than Karloff, but he was 6'1, 2 inches taller than Karloff.

It was a weak performance, but I don't think it was his fault. The makeup was dreadful with that sloped forehead and the writing was bad on his end. The Ghost of Frankenstein made a huge mistake by placing Ygor's brain in the monster's body and this film had to live with the consequences of it. Even if they cut out his dialogue, he's still clearly seen moving his lips as if talking. And by cutting out the conversation, his role in the movie is regrettably.

It's a shame that they couldn't have cut from Son of Frankenstein to this film, but then we never would have had the lovely Baroness Elsa Frankenstein.
