A Jean Arthur box set might be easily overlooked by the casual horror
fan, but a closer look reveals that two of the films contained in Sony/TCM's JEAN ARTHUR DRAMA COLLECTION ($39.99) were
directed by
Lambert Hillyer (DRACULA'S DAUGHTER), while the other two a
re
the work of Roy William Neill (FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN) and
Erle C. Kenton (ISLAND OF LOST SOULS, HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN). Tonight, I
watched the first film in the set -- Neill's WHIRLPOOL (1934, review forthcoming on my Pause. Rewind. Obsess. blog) -- and
it's fantastic. Now I'm excited about cozying up with the other three.
It's a TCM website exclusive from Sony.
