FRANKENSTEIN ENCONTRA O LOBISOMEM (FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN, USA, 1943) - From the very opening scene in a graveyard to the final battle between two of Universal's most famous monsters, 'Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man' delivers the goods. The sets are impressive, lit in authentic film noir style from graveyard to castle, with a cheerfully lit celebration scene in the village square providing the only lighter moments. Moreover, Lugosi is an impressive Frankenstein's monster, despite the studio's decision to cut references from the film to his blindness (a condition suffered by the monster in "The Ghost of Frankenstein") and his dialogue (again, from acquiring the brain of Ygor in "Ghost"). The film is beautifully photographed, well-acted and a unique departure from previous Universal monster fests in the way it teams up two legendary creatures.
