Dwight (“how did this actor come out of the American and not the German film industry?”) Frye as a wrongly suspected misfit
Okay, I'll watch that.
Most Dangerous Game I was less into, although it had beautiful RKO jungle and Robert Armstrong — later Carl Denham in King Kong — as a “guest” it’s probably unsporting of Count Zaroff to hunt, given how drunk he is the entire time we know him (I kept hoping it would turn out he was playing the fool deliberately to throw Zaroff off, but no suck luck).
I enjoyed The Most Dangerous Game when I saw it last year primarily because of Leslie Banks, whom I like almost whatever he's doing and who was clearly having a wonderful time as Zaroff, and because of the RKO jungle, which would go on to star in King Kong.
I have not yet seen The Testament of Dr. Mabuse and this is obviously a failing.
