and their nephew, played by Dwight Frye
in his amalgamated state.
:31:05
At their house, nephew killed
his uncle and stole his hoard,
:31:08
blaming it on the monster.
:31:10
The scene closed as nephew pondered
the convenience of a scapegoat
:31:13
and mused that the monster
might soon visit auntie.
:31:33
The communion girl who speaks
is Helen Parrish,
:31:36
sister of film director Robert Parrish.
:31:39
Helen grew up to become a leading lady
in Three Smart Girls Grow Up
:31:42
and was Boris Karloff's ingénue
in You'll Find Out in 1940.
:31:46
A shot of Frieda's mother
carrying the body was cut by the censor.
:31:49
Gossiping with Una O'Connor
is David Lewis's mother, Fanny Levy,
:31:53
earning her seven and a half dollars
a day extra-player's pay.
:31:56
Poor old Newman has been hacked
to death by the monster.
:31:59
That's Walter Brennan
handling the murder weapon.
:32:02
Mr and Mrs Newman's moans
were dubbed in later
:32:04
to lessen the official body count.
:32:07
Perhaps they aren't dead yet,
but, in Monty Python fashion,
:32:10
are feeling much better after the dissolve.
:32:33
The Gypsy camp was added
during reshoots in April
:32:36
to bridge the deletions in the village.
:32:38
Maurice Black plays the Gypsy man,
and Elspeth Dudgeon is his sour mother.
:32:42
She's made up to evoke Eva Moore's
crusty matriarch in The Old Dark House.
:32:47
Elspeth also appeared in that film -
billed as John Dudgeon -
:32:50
as the 102-year-old family patriarch.
:32:52
Whale used her again
in Show Boat and The Great Garrick.
:32:55
She is memorable as the titular villain
:32:57
in a loony 1938 horror comedy
for Warner Bros, Sh/ The Octopus.
