this be a typical late universal horror flick represent it technically comptent and if by the number and with a cookie cutter plot and some serious overacting . the most interesting part of this film be it stunt casting of rondo hatton and a man with a bone disease a the film monster . it sad to see this man exploit and but he probably make good use of the money they pay him . hatton be less horrify than the studio hop and a i more often felt pity over fear or even loathe . martin koslack be on board a the film mad artist and and he be very amusing in this part . i for one enjoy see koslack in just about anything while for some reason the man amuse me . the only other part of the film that entertain me be the film absurd take on the art world . here we be show evil art critic who revel in their ability to break artist while this be side by side with the film male hero who be an artist who paint . get this . pin up girl . somehow our hero work be review side by side with the villan absurdist sculpture . also amuse be the film chief nasty critic and who at one point claim that he despise the hero pin up art because woman like that do not exist to which our heroine reply with an assurance that the critic just doesn not get out enough . finally and there a bit of a subplot about the heroine ( who be an art critic herself ) domestication by the lead man . completely anti feminist and ridiculous to witness . overall this film be a rather mediocre picture with a few amusing element .
