Universal serials, especially westerns, have the same vices and virtues; a good cast and good concept. The delivery is noisy soundtracks, sloppy film editing, 40% stock footage, repitition os such footage, and poor contunuity.

Serial fans are very tolerate and are not expecting Hamlet, but this is a sound and a fury signifying nothing.

He's best known, of course, for his classic "The Wolf Man"--in fact, he's the only person ever to have played all four classic movie monsters--the Wolf Man, Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, and the ...
