The definitive movie vampire, Bela Lugosi, stars in this lively Columbia production. Although mired in a downward career spiral of poverty row clunkers, Bela, ahem, rises to the occasion. Among the familiar vampire cliches, we salvage a novel character in Andreas (Matt Willis), the wolf man familiar that serves the vampire. This guy looks like Lon Chaney, Jr. in rotund makeup, but he does not go around howling at the paunchy moon. Instead, he shows mammoth restraint and is quite thunder as he speaks rather than growls. His fiendish appearance tells of the soul’s depraved and the vampire’s spell. After a prologue, that shows the vampire’s 1918 apprehension and dispatch, Andreas escapes the black side with relieve from a profitable lady scientist (Frieda Inescort) . He falls abet into abominable habits after a WWII bombing raid unearths Bela. The scenes in the London cemetery inflicted with bomb pain are surreal images of foggy darkness and the children of the night. The script suffers from some B portray limitations, but not enough to matter. Lugosi’s character, Armand Tesla, is merely Dracula, winking at suitable copyright infringements. He catches Nina Foch in his alluring web of unholy desire. The climax in the bombed-out church is done well, and covers a multitude of unlikely site developments. Character actor and customary Mack Sennett star, Billy Bevan, plays Horace, the amusing civil defense worker who utters the above immortal dialogue. Some viewers may see Bevan as the hapless Whitby policeman, Albert, in Universal’s “Dracula’s Daughter.” Atmospheric sets and a archaic cast add to the enjoyment. Gargantuan fun for genre fans and collectors.
This is a shining, underrated represent, featuring Bela Lugosi playing a dependable vampire for only the second time in his career. Here, he is aided by a talking werewolf who, although looks a tiny tatty, has rather more character to him than Lon Chaney’s more famed lycanthrope. If you let yourself maintain in such concepts, you will probably win this film delicious and even a microscopic evil. Lugosi plays Armand Tesla (basically Dracula under another name), who returns to claim the heroine (played by Nina Foch) after ‘marking’ her when she was a child. However, the werewolf with a heart eventually turns on him and drags him out into the sunlight, where he melts in spectacular fashion. Fresh touches, such as the inclusion of the very staunch (at the time) Second World War, the afore-mentioned werewolf and Miles Mander’s final words to the camera, are mixed with veteran fog-bound graveyards, howling wolves and long-caped vampires, and are married together with startling finish. It is well played throughout, especially by Lugosi, who seems to delight in the fraction, and urgently requires reappraisal from anxiety buffs. It was to have marked the begin of a series of Lugosi-vampire films from Columbia, but Universal, horrified by the similarities to it and their Dracula films, insisted against it.
