Very enjoyable



These Frankenstein films in the Golden Age of Hollywood really deliver.

This one, is another thoroughly enjoyable entry. It's interesting that Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi swapped places playing the monster between films. Lon Chaney Jr. was excellent in this.

The acting in these films are really good and believable. The effects were great. The transformation to the Wolf Man was done really well, considering it's 1943.

I just found it strange that Elsa (which were played by two different actresses between the 1942 and 1943 films) had an American accent in the previous one, and a Russian-speaking English accent in this. Weird.

The Frankenstein films:

Frankenstein (1933)
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)
Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (1943)

all follow into each other nicely, and it's kind of funny how each one ends with a disaster.

This film and the others before are must watch films for any film fan.
