Rhodes’s carefully researched account of the picture’s development, shoot, and exhibition. I enjoyed exploring details of the film’s tangled chronology, Bela Lugosi’s casting and performance, and differences between script and finished film.

Rhodes. In this volume, and continuing his long-standing work on Bela Lugosi, Rhodes unearths and contextualizes with his usual, meticulous scholarship a wealth of material related to the final film in which Lugosi starred. A real treat not just for Lugosi fans, but also for those with an interest in the way American filmmaking was practiced in the periphery of Hollywood.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Yannis Tzioumakis, Senior Lecturer at the University of Liverpool and author of \u003cem\u003eHollywood’s Indies: Classics Divisions, Specialty Labels, and the American Film Market\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(You will be automatically emailed a zip file containing your ebook in epub and mobi files)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48177092526238,"sku":"rab1787291242847","price":18.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6345\/4366\/files\/ed-woods-bride-of-the-monster-paperback_1.jpg?v=1787291248","url":"https:\/\/urbanwearstore.shop\/products\/ed-woods-bride-of-the-monster-paperback","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
