Join Us Tomorrow Night, Darlings, As Svengoolie Prevents "Son Of Frankenstein!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                                   By lesser standards of Universal, this is a gem, but as the climax to the Boris Karloff/Frankenstein Trilogy, it is the worst of the lot.



                                                      Not that it's bad.  Just a lot of recycled stuff seen before; not nearly as much fun as the original, nor as campy as the sequel.   One reason  I am looking forward to see "Son Of Frankenstein" tomorrow, is because I cannot recall the last time I saw it, let alone what happens in it.  It does have the originality of Bela  Lugosi, as Igor, and this is the one where, I think, Lionel Atwill has one arm.



                                                         Some people like this film; I would rather Svengoolie had shown 'Bride.'



                                                         But, David, the gang, and I will be watching, so hope to see you, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                                           Unless you'd rather  watch the YouTube video where Barbra Streisand--that's right, BARBRA!--visits her old  Broadway dressing room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I was just watching some old clips of Barbra, Judy Garland, and Ethel Merman together.
    There was even one of Julie Andrews and Gene Kelly.

  2. Victoria,
    The clip from Julie and Gene Kelly
    was probably from her first TV special
    during her Mary Poppins-Sound Of Music
    period, which I was allowed to stay up
    and watch. It started at either 9 or
    10PM.
