This film, Son of Frankenstein, was made in 1939, featuring the two great horror pioneers, monster/Boris Karloff and vampire Bela Lugosi, who come together here. And who else? Of course, there's Basil Rathbone, who replaced Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein's son, young Frankenstein. Who else? There’s Lionel Atwill—who is he? He is Professor Moriarty in the BR films' secret weapon. You could say that if you watch the BR films, you will gain a lot. If you follow Basil Rathbone, you will discover many treasures. The film was directed by Rowland V. Lee, who had previously collaborated with BR on adaptations of Agatha Christie novels: "Love from a Stranger" and "Tower of London." In this film, Basil Rathbone reunites with the great MONSTER/Boris Karloff, which allowed BR to gain recognition among horror film fans. They know this man has played Sherlock Holmes, and in the 1960s, some elderly horror icons gathered to make a few films together. Unlike some other old horror actors, BR does not identify himself as a horror film actor; he believes he doesn't have any classic horror image. Indeed, he has never played a vampire (which is a pity) and has not portrayed any type of monster but merely collaborated with a few old horror stars for money. However, he inadvertently created several brilliant characters, nearly overshadowing the monsters and cultivating many fans, who insisted on crowning him the king of horror films. In truth, he is not; he is a classic villain rather than a classic monster. Of course, he is also Sherlock Holmes, although his Mr. Holmes always answers the phone.
