After a long, sometimes frustrating period of time, I was finally able
to obtain a VHS copy of "Mystery of the Wax Museum" via eBay. This
truly is a real gem of a movie not just for its early use of
Technicolor but for the excellent cast. I especially enjoyed the
contrast between Fay & Glenda Farrell in their characterizations.
Obviously this film was the inspiration for Ms. Farrell's later popular
character Torchy Blane.
So now I have four of the films I personally refer to as "Fay's
Fabulous Five", i.e., the series of horror/adventure classics that
culminated in "King Kong" between 1932-33.
