EagleMoon Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Elsa Lanchester is shockingly unsexy in this. But Merle Oberon's Anne Boleyn made up for it. Shame she lost her head. Laughton is such a ham. One wouldn't imagine he eventually helmed such a work of sublime restraint as Night of the Hunter, based on aesthetics of his Henry VIII. His starring role as Dr. Moreau in Island of Lost Souls a year earlier displays the gravitas I'd expect from him. His scenery chewing in Henry is something to cherish, though. http://robertdonat.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/the-private-life-of-henry-viii-1560ecdd-e1331498970303.jpg When was Elsa Lanchester ever sexy in a movie? :) http://halloweenfuntime.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/the-bride-of-frankenstein-elsa-lanc.289141312_std.jpg My thoughts exactly. There's a shockingly racy (tame by today's standards, but technically NSFW) photo of her as the Bride (I believe taken as an early test shot). She's holding a knife in it. Should be easy to find using TheGoogler.Net or whatever. I guess it just depends on a persons definition of "sexy". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMiltonBanana Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Well, my mancrush is Antonin Artaud... so what do I know?? --- Lubitsch brings us another pre-code musical. So many unbelievably naughty double entendres between all of the lead roles. Not as many songs (and not as many good song) as The Love Parade or Monte Carlo. But the film shows a really great amount of polish from the director and star, having really grown to understand (and practically create) the talkie musical. Far developed in form since their 1929 The Love Parade but not necessarily in content. Worth a watch for sure, especially if you do double/triple/quadruple feature of Lubitsch musicals (the Criterion Eclipse boxset contains all films mentioned and one last one which I haven't seen). The films are all short and naughtily sweet. http://www.cartelesmix.com/carteles/clasicos/letrat/tenienteseductor3104.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
