The Best of the Wartime Universal Monster Movies, 29 December 2004

"Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" (1943) is, in the opinion of this
reviewer, the last of the really good Universal monster features. It is
definitely not in the same league as the the early James Whale and Todd
Browning classics (e.g., "Frankenstein," "The Bride of Frankenstein,"
"Dracula," "The Invisible Man," etc.). Nor is it quite as strong as
"The Son of Frankenstein." But it easily rivals "The Ghost of
Frankenstein" and far surpasses the two House Of films ("House of
Frankenstein" and "House of Dracula"). Lon Chaney Jr. is even better in
this film than he is in the original "Wolf Man" (1941). And 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. It's a
splendid later entry in the Universal horror cycle. After this, the
universal horror films left much to be desired, at least until the
magnificent "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948). I still put
"Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man" in the DVD player if I'm feeling like
watching what in my opinion is the studio's finest wartime horror film.
