Showmen's Trade Review (Jan-Mar 1945)

February 17, 1945 SHOWMEN'S TRADE REVIEW 35 The Body Snatcher {Continued from Page 19) chosen and the direction is superb. The picture is too gruesome for children, however. One of its interesting features is the method of giving class treatment to a rip-roaring spine chiller. The photography is well moulded to the mood required and there are several sequences which will bring the most blase horror fan right out on the edge of the seat. Based on a short story by Robert Louis Stevenson, the plot is laid in Edinburgh, Scotland, during a period when grave robbing was secretly practiced by the medical profession in the interest of advancing science and research. Karlof? has a remarkable role and delivers one of his finest acting jobs to date. The picture offers a great opportunity for exploitation and the horror angle can be capitalized to the fullest. This film is perfect for action houses and deserves a 50/50 billing in most double-bill situations. Newsreel Synopses {Released Wednesday, February 14) MOVIETONE (Vol. 27, No. 47)— Sen.
