May 13 09 1:15 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Perhaps it's an idea to watch 31 Bela films but not to feel stuck with absolutely doing it daily...? I can't do the Lon thing every day. I do bursts and miss days. I guess there's a motivating objective, tho. The Ape Man's a bit rubbish, IMO.

For my money - with all its flaws - it's a notch better than any other B-Lugosi. It's also famous for having a very sensible black character, who's only afraid in a sort of worried way, which really plays around with the rules.

Lewis actually boosts it a little with some interesting flourishes, and Bela is actually pretty sympathetic in it. May be the best Monogram Lugosi, or right up there.

It's not on hand, but let me check my Rhodes/Sheffield Lugosi book later this evening. It believe this had to do with him testifying before bureaucrats (notice the vague term...not sure which bunch) about the evils of drug use.
