This is one of Universal's few "A" pictures of the late 1930s.For once,they decided to spend some real time and money on a film.It shows,and the result is a lavish(for Universal)piece of enjoyable hokum.The film benefits from a literate Robert N.Lee script,solidRoland V.Lee direction,and spirited performances from a good cast.As expected,Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff are excellent as the villains Richard and Mord.But Barbara O'Neill and John Sutton steal the movie as Queen Elyzabeth and John Wyatt."Tower Of London" is not a great movie,but it's fun to watch and provides good entertainment.
