    Worth it just to have Bill Lee pitching and talking shit on film forever. 

    Looks stunning. Really excited for Carson Lund.

    ★★★★½

    Hadn’t seen this since it was in theaters, where I remembered liking it. But man, I didn’t remember liking it this much. So much fun! 

    Marking it down a bit because the climax is so muddy and dull compared to the rest*. 

    *It sure seems like the production design was at odds with the tone of the script and directing. It has all the dressing of those plodding, unhappy action movies that are all gunmetal and dirt. The climax is where it really starts to be in conflict, where the lighting is so murky that it gets hard to tell what’s going on.

    A lot of wasted potential here, especially considering the incredible visuals that Browning and Whale were able to get out of their monster movies. Karloff is incredible and, again, could have been so intimidating if they made him just a bit nastier.

    Carole Lombard is the absolute greatest. 

    Very fun and playful. Even some daring stuff. And a good amount of genuine heart.
