Charles Laughton
Early (1932) adaptation of H.G. Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau.
Surprisingly effective for a studio-bound film. Set design looked like King Kong, Most Dangerous Game... CL hit the mark between menace and jaded erudition. The panther woman was a hoot. Love interest featured a blonde with marcelled do and perfect makeup. Even a supporting role by an unrecognizable Bela Lugosi! What more could you want?
