Cracking pre-code pairing of the original scream queen Wray and dastardly Atwill with splendidly creepy use of two colour Technicolor. Delightfully ghoulish. 1932

Terrific adaption of Doyle's classic tale splendidly crafted for the chiller crowd. Fogbound moors, Rathbone, Atwill and Carradine. Creepy indeed. 1939.

Hugely influential and terrific fun, Wray's in pre-code peril as Atwill literally cracks up in two color Technicolor. A sharp and snappy delight. 1933.

Lovably creaky pre-code rough diamond sees Atwill nail nasty as Wray does peril perfectly and Frye goes Renfield. A dark and delightfully creepy gem. 1933.

Watched THE MAN WHO RECLAIMED HIS HEAD (1934). What an interesting film! Claude Rains plays an antiwar writer employed by Lionel Atwill. Atwill reverses course to gain support for his political career from munitions makers. Rains is married to Joan Bennett. Set in France before and at start of WWI.

Dark even by pre-code standards with a stunningly savage first act. A splendidly sadistic Atwill revels in a callously cruel delight. 1933.

Top rate B Movie terror from Universal with Lugosi and Atwill in a wonderfully moody mash of gothic chills and early body horror. Ghoulish fun. 1942.

Chaney Jr's dynamic horror debut and he's already falling foul of the fiendish Atwill. Terrific fun with thrilling effects. Next stop Lawrence Talbot. 1941.

Verree Teasdale, Lionel Atwill and C. Aubrey Smith in “The Firebird” (1934) — a well-done melodrama-mystery also featuring Ricardo Cortez and Anita Louise.
Teasdale (left) makes questioning arm gesture towards Smith (at far right). Smith looks stern while Atwill looks worried.

I'm a big Atwill fan and absolutely love him here, as the one-armed Inspector Krogh he's just genius..!

Outstanding actor and Hollywood orgymaster? Lionel Atwill is a personal favorite of mine for both. 🙂
