Son of Frankenstein

by

Dir. Rowland V. Lee (1939).
The third installment of Universal’s Frankenstein is distinguished by its supporting players—Karloff’s monster is resurrected by Basil Rathbone’s eponymous scientist, opposed by Lionel Atwill’s one-armed inspector, and abetted by Bela Lugosi’s Igor, who pretty much steals the movie in his last really juicy role.
