Originally published in 1936, this book presents the content of the Rede Lecture for that year, which was delivered by Sir Cedric Hardwicke at Cambridge University. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in drama and English literature.

Sequel to 'Son of Frankenstein' (1939). Wicked shepherd Ygor (Bela Lugosi) seeks out Dr Ludwig Frankenstein (Cedric Hardwicke), son of the original Baron, in an attempt to revive the infamous monster (Lon Chaney Jr, inheriting the role from Boris Karloff). Ludwig initially refuses, seeing the creature as an instrument of evil, but changes his mind when he sees the opportunity to transplant the noble mind of the recently deceased Dr Kettering into the monster's body. Ygor, however, has other plans, and plots with Victor's unscrupulous colleague Dr Bohmer to substitute his own brain for Kettering's. Followed by 'Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man' (1943).

Gene Tierney, Bruce Cabot and George Sanders star in this early 1940s war drama set in a tiny, isolated British outpost in East Africa. Officers at the outpost enlist the help of Zia (Tierney), a mysterious and exotic woman living among the natives, in their bid to fend off an impending onslaught from Nazi soldiers.
