Storyline:This man must have been condemned not only in this life but in the next." They were all surprised by the over 3,000 year-old mummified corpse inside, described as not entirely decomposed - a sinewy mess of decayed flesh and exposed musculature -- "juicy."After a wipe-right and wipe-left, as they proceeded hrough foggy woods to the Baron""s castle high on a jagged mountain peak, Inga cuddled closely to Frankenstein after hearing a clash of lightning and the howls of a creature (uncredited Mel Brooks).The hero dreamt himself into a detective movie that mirrored his real-life roubles.In a sense, Keaton""s objective was to present a satirical ribute to the power of the movies to glamorize reality (Hollywood""s Dream Factory) - to inspire escapist dreams, to let us live vicariously through film characters, to identify with film stars, or to project one""s hopes and wishes onto the screen (or in our mind""s eye).(Universal""s follow-up picture was the equally successful gothicFrankenstein (1931).) Its eerie lighting, gliding camera trackings, and moody and shadowy atmosphere were largely the work of cinematographer Karl Freund.
