I should be getting the home laptop back this weekend, and work pressures will ease next week. I'll be able to play catch up then. Thanks to all for their patience.

I mean, the internal debate about service to country vs. service to the family is always an interesting one - one which Rathbone does quite well, I see. I hope this pops up on AMC again, so I can see it. M.

Even if it's lacking in the action department, both the cast and the subject matter sound interesting and I hope it one day becomes more readily available to view. <br /><br />Great review, lots of good detail! I especially enjoyed your comments on the indispensable C.

One thing I've noticed with these 'Empire' films is that, even though the film might be sub-par, the cast is always top-notch - and this is certainly no exception!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189896360230007229.post-11567598355022522252014-11-19T14:53:18.159-08:002014-11-19T14:53:18.159-08:00Rathbone couldn't possibly be more hysterical ...Rathbone couldn't possibly be more hysterical than he is in "Son of Frankenstein".

I feel like Michael Caine and Company looking at the numbers of Zulus getting ready to attack....can't wait for things to settle down. Thanks to all for their patience.

Aubrey Smith in anything. <br /><br />And this: "Its salute to the British Empire as a stabilizing source in a troubled world was a likely tonic to a nervous world holding its breath as to when conflagration would erupt. It did later that year, of course, and if its politics seem quaint today, the film offers a peek into a world where the non-existence of the British Empire was unthinkable." Indeed. A splendid contribution to this blogathon. Jacqueline T. Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047941886908178350noreply@blogger.com
