Hollywood Studios Year-by-Year – Universal – 1943: THE STRANGE DEATH OF ADOLF HITLER & SON OF DRACULA
Manage episode 372447999 series 1185329
Universal 1943 is a strange one, starting with The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler, starring Ludwig Donath as a reluctant Nazi collaborator who's forced to impersonate Hitler, and continuing with Robert Siodmak's Son of Dracula, with Lon Chaney Jr. as a hapless Dracula who falls victim to femme fatale Louise Allbritton. We discuss WWII AU scenarios, the Twilight Zone scenario of being a soul trapped in Hitler's body, and the comedy team of Frank Craven and J. Edward Bromberg as a down-to-earth doctor and sub-Van Helsing forced to confront supernatural shenanigans and, worse, a wayward woman with a plan.
