Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This abridgment existed because 16mm home projectors were the Netflix of 1960s suburbia—families literally rented chopped classics for living room screams.
The original 1941 print cost Universal $180,000; this version probably cost twelve bucks and someone's lunch hour.
