Comment
Add a Commentmark of the vampire is the remake of the lost lon chaney silent london after midnight. bela lugosi and lionel barrymore take turns chewing the scenery. mask of fu manchu is entertaining despite some shocking early cinema racism. look for myrna loy in one of her more exotic roles.
early films, snowy screens/back drops. good but a little early for my interests.
