Greetings,
Could the common denominator here be Rowland V. Lee?
It seems as if his signature for both 1939 Universals is the pastiche nature of the films.
Both Son of Frankenstein and Tower of London have splendid, almost James Whale-inspired casts. The two movies also feature that "just in time" writing that suggests an on the fly composition.
Maybe Mr. Lee's style leaves us with that sense that the company had a great kernel of narrative, but could just not decide how they wanted the story to develop or end.
Best regards,
Andy in Vancouver.
