Even the studio mandated comic relief and boring lead romantic couple can not dispel the sense of dread and despair after the war the film brings up. A marvellous showcase for the two leads Karloff and Lugosi who show what they could do when not having to just be monsters #TheFilmCrowd

I wonder if Lugosi's big career mistake was not signing on for a studio contract with WB, RKO, Paramount or MGM after Dracula instead of agreeing to do another film with Universal #TheFilmCrowd
