"Sherman, set the WayBack Machine for the Classic Hollywood era — the 30s and 40. We're going to pay a visit to the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Memory Lane."

First we'll ponder the possible predicaments which Larry Talbot might find himself in if he made an appoint to see Dr. Jykell.

Then we'll tag along with an ace reporter as he investigates an arson, a murder, and an artist who thinks he can create a beautiful "still life" with just two ingredients — Fay Wray and hot wax.

And finally, we'll see what kind of wild adventure Robert Armstrong and Helen Mack can have on a rocky, fog-bound island . . . called England!

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)

Opening Statement: Hey, I think you're onto something there. Dr. Jekyll Cures the Wolf Man!

Dr. Jekyll develops a formula that cures himself, removing the evil Mr. Hyde and making him into a downright saintly guy. He persuades Talbot to let him try the formula as a cure for the evil of lycanthropy. And it works!

Sort of . . .

It turns Larry into a downright saintly werewolf who wouldn't hurt a fly!

The Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)

Opening Statement: Until I saw this movie on TCM recently, I had no idea that it was primarily a great story about 1930s newspaper reporters who are following a story about a series of strange murders!

I LOVE 1930s and 1940s newspaper movies — the ones with shots of busy newsrooms, crowded with hard-boiled reporters as they pound away on their old typewriters, desperately cranking out each day's edition after scouring the city for sensational stories about scandals and murders and political corruption!

Blind Adventure (1933)

Opening Statement: 1933 was a great year for Robert Armstrong.

He appeared in The Billion Dollar Scandal, King Kong, Fast Workers, I Love That Man, Above the Clouds, Son of Kong, The Most Dangerous Game, and this move — a wonderful comedy/adventure/mystery yarn which reunites him with his Son of Kong co-star, Helen Mack.

The adventure takes place in London, where Robert and Helen meet and team up with a feisty old cat burglar played by Roland Young (from the Topper series).
