Fans, I found two of the Universal "complete legacy" classic monster DVD sets in my local Newbury Comics (a media shop in the Boston area) marked down--they are used, but appear to play fine. And so, I am watching Frankenstein vs. the Wolfman (from around 1943). I don't remember ever seeing this one before, apart from a bit when I came into it towards the end of a TV broadcast back around 20 years ago.
Let's just say that the opening sequence, set in the Talbot family mausoleum, proved to have a very familiar look and feel to it. You might be surprised. I know I was.
DS definitely stole... er, borrowed... from the best.
For fans of the Universal Sherlock Holmes films (with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce), this one includes a very Inspector Lestrade type role for actor Dennis Hoey.
