<< One would never think it was a film made in 1931. Especially if you think that Dracula was made that same year and seems ancient, wooden and stagy compared to it <<

J&H puts half of the old Universal horror classics to shame. And I guess we don't think about it enough or appreciate it enough partly because there weren't eleventy-leven sequels and model kits and Bobbleheads and Underoos and everything else that Real Monster Kids are supposed to dig, so we stick with THE MUMMY'S TOMB.

Maybe revisit SVENGALI next, another cinematic class act that we collectively give the bum's rush.
