Green Hell
James Whale escapes Frankenstein’s lab for a jaunt in the jungle with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Joan Bennett, all in search of Incan treasures in South America. The supporting cast included George Sanders and Vincent Price, who called it “one of the funniest films ever shot.” The actors may have struggled to keep a straight face but the movie is really something to look at, including an elaborate Mayan temple that found better use in 1940’s The Mummy’s Hand.
