I am looking for help in locating the title of two films. The first is a Boris Karloff masterpiece from the '30s. He plays both lead roles (twin brothers; one good, the other predicably evil). It is a period piece, set in Europe (?), prehaps around the 1500 or 1600's. The storyline is simple. The evil twin, jealous of his good brother, kills him (throws him down a pit where is impaled on a stalagmite), weds his wife and takes over his fortune/kingdom. The good brother's hounds betray the evil twin and he is found out when he raises a hand to strike one of them, a hand that's been paralysed from birth. He flees into the castle, is chased into various catacombs, and eventually falls into the same pit and is impaled on top of his dead brother's body. If I recall correctly, the motivation for the evil twins deeds was a"prophecy" that the the good brother would kill the evil one, so he does him in first, only to be "done in" by him later--if you can follow that you win a prize! Does anyone know the name of this film? It was not mentioned in the recent biography of Karloff I saw the other day. (I think the last time I saw the movie it was about 8 or 10 years old!) The second film title I'm looking for is less clear in my memory. There is a shipwreck. Survivors (Doug McClure?) make it to an island. There is pestilance, evil, etc., etc. but nobody can leave. It turns out that there are a bunch of Nazi soldiers lying on the surrounding reef's floor waiting to kill anyone who attempts to leave. (I seem to recall that they verify the tale by using a glass bottomed boat.) The Nazis are gill-men types; results of an experiment. I believe the "doctor" (Christopher Lee ?) was trapped on the island as well. Does anyone know the name of this film? It is also one I saw many years ago. If someting comes to mind, please mail me direct. Thanks! rj -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- Robert Johnson, Jr. <[log in to unmask]> Asst.
