Just a quick correction. I misspoke in the chapter F.P.1 Antwortet Nicht. The actress playing Claire is Jill Esmond and not Leslie Fenton. Sorry for the mistake.
Thanks for another entertaining presentation - I do really appreciate your research/production and presentation! Look forward to your future videos, all the best.
I always appreciate your research and presentation. You have a clear (and lovely) voice, which makes for a clear audio track too. You also give an honest review of each film.
@@marswantsmovies On a side note, if you find yourself a little free time, look up how B&W sets and makeup was used. Green makeup. Orange stairs, purple walls. Just to get the contrast on black and white film. Look into the history of Max Factor in film. Very interesting.
I knew of the film "The Island of Doctor Moreau", did not realize there was an earlier film adaptation of the story from the 1930s. I'm almost halfway through this installment of History of Sci-Fi Film and so far this is all new to me!
To me, the Island of Lost Souls is still the best version of The Island of Dr Moreau. no matter what HG thought of it (he also hated Metropolis, so his discernment was severely lacking).
Greetings. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll discuss the film in my 1937 video in regards to its amazing in-camera visual effects and makeup. It's amazing what filmmakers could do without relying on CGI.
The deathray with Lugosi remind me of Dreyfus and the doomsday weapon in Pink Panther strikes again. Surprisingly I did not know about all these uses of the deathray in all these old films as I am working my way through your videos. I’ve learned a lot, and I love that you put these films in context with SF literature, scientific achievements and significant historical events of those times.
For the films in the final chapter I don’t go into too much detail other than making a brief blurb about each film. I should have mentioned the two-color technicolor version. For time constraints I went with the footage from one version instead of showing both.
Greetings. It was filmed in both b/w and two-color process. For the films in the final chapter I don’t go into too much detail other than making a brief blurb about each film. I should have mentioned the two-color technicolor version. I wish I could go into so much more detail with each film but each video would be an hour long.

Когда новый эпизод ? Очень ждём 💗💗💗🤗

Much appreciated! Thanks so much.
Excellent, as usual. This series is really a treat!

Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day.
Vampyr is a wonderful example of stylish and atmospheric filmmaking. It's one of my favorites.
Thanks been waiting for your next installment. You are doing a great job on this.
Thanks for watching! On to 1933.
As always, thank you for this informative look into the history of film, science fiction and the world events which shaped them.
Thank you so much. You've been so generous. I love making these videos and connecting film to history.
Melissa, thank you for taking the time to provide links to the films. I've seen the most popular, and these more obscure ones are worth a watch.
It's so much fun discovering obscure films as I research each year, especially since many are streaming online. There's so many films to watch.

Excellent idea. I'll take a look at Max Factor. I know very little about makeup so it's an excuse to dive into different areas of filmmaking.
You are doing a wonderful job. Thanks.
Charles Laughton as Dr. Moreau - amazing stuff MWM
I knew of the film "The Island of Doctor Moreau", did not realize there was an earlier film adaptation of the story from the 1930s. I'm almost halfway through this installment of History of Sci-Fi Film and so far this is all new to me!

Interesting all the creative 1932 movies! And how many Bella Lugosi was in. And the young John Wayne at 27:19. Keep 'em coming
Nothing wrong with lots of Bela Lugosi
@@marswantsmovies He's the best vampire!
Definitely subbed.
Hoping in 1937 you'll be covering the Shh The Octopus Transformation
Greetings. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll discuss the film in my 1937 video in regards to its amazing in-camera visual effects and makeup. It's amazing what filmmakers could do without relying on CGI.
@@marswantsmovies yup. A truly amazing effect.

Thank you so much. Sci-fi of the 1930s was fascinating and I found some hidden gems while researching each video.
I like marswantsmovies.
Why the black and white footage of Dr.X ?
For the films in the final chapter I don’t go into too much detail other than making a brief blurb about each film. I should have mentioned the two-color technicolor version. For time constraints I went with the footage from one version instead of showing both.
Post post script..antwortet nicht is based off a book by Curt Siodmak, scriptwriter known for The Wolf Man and various other Horror films of the time
I think Dr X was the first color (2 color process) horror feature like the following years Mystery of the Wax Museum.
Greetings. It was filmed in both b/w and two-color process. For the films in the final chapter I don’t go into too much detail other than making a brief blurb about each film. I should have mentioned the two-color technicolor version. I wish I could go into so much more detail with each film but each video would be an hour long.
@@marswantsmovies An hour-long film would be no problem for most of us, given the existing films that you've done.
Remark dealing with Chandu: Egyptians were white (Greek), brown, black and inbetween. Egyptians were of all races.
Jill Esmond is the actress you mean in the English version. Leslie Fenton is a guy..
Thanks for the note. I hate making mistakes and I'll be more careful.
Post script......the real star of Chandu is Bela Lugosi. Let's face it. Inanimate objects are cool and all, but Lugosi beats all.
Are we not men?
