My commentary track for Michael Curtiz’s horror film and follow up to Doctor X (1932)
Not one of my best in my opinion but at least I tried.
According to Curtiz’s adopted son, Curtiz spoke five languages and all of them very badly. … One of [his] many quotes … was ‘The next time I want an idiot to do this, I’ll do it myself!’— Sean Pultz,

I always love the inserts that Curtiz uses. … He’s like Steven Spielberg. Sometimes a shot appears in a split second—or a camera move. And sometimes it leaves an indelible image in your mind.— Sean Pultz,

RKO, who produced King Kong, would use Fay Wray’s scream in other films. One instance was in the 1939 Hunchback of Notre Dame. And [it] was later used in the English-speaking dub of Rodan.— Sean Pultz,
