Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was made during Hollywood's 'stuntman as star' brief craze; real stunt performers did their own dangerous introductions to audiences. Several were seriously injured during production.
Lon Chaney Jr.'s early bit part here predates his Wolf Man fame by eight years — he's practically unrecognizable as the cocky young Frankie.
