Bela Legosi shines as Ygor. Basil Rathbone is a better actor than Colin Clive in the preceding two Frankenstein films. Lionel Atwill as the wooden-armed Inspector Krogh must have inspired Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. Boris Karloff doesn't have much to do.
DOUBLE FEATURE:
Followed at 10:30 PM ET/PT by
The Monster That Challenged the World (1957)
THAT will be followed by a marathon of eight 30-minute Sventoonie episodes previously recorded.
