This has to be my favorite Pre-Code horror movie, with Dracula being a close second. Fredric March's portrayal or both of the title characters is wonderful. He does great at playing a romantic, a mad scientist, and an evil being all at once. What is also ambitious are some of the special effects, using lighting for example to highlight the transformation. Miriam Hopkins seductive portrayal is also useful in outlining the Ore-Code restrictions that were heavily ignored at the time. Full frontal nudity was hidden, but we know what we saw. Movie adaptations are meant to do something the book did not and this movie offers much more, in my opinion.
