Great 8x10-inch black-and-white glossy publicity photo / movie still was produced to promote the 1943 Universal horror film, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN, which starred Ilona Massey, Patric Knowles, Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi, Maria Ouspenskaya, Dennis Hoey, Lon Chaney Jr., Don Barclay, Rex Evans, Dwight Frye and Harry Stubbs. The film was directed by Roy William Neill and written by Curt Siodmak. Title information is printed in the lower border. We are not sure of the exact age of this still. It came from a movie still collection w the majority were originals, but t were also a few newer copies mixed in. And although the photo quality is superb, and it is printed on the correct type of fiber-based photo paper, this still just looks too crisp and bright to be from the 1940s. One the other hand, it certainly isn't brand new either. Tfore, we are selling this assuming that it is probably a copy -- likely made from an original negative. The photo features a great close-up shot of Bela Lugosi, as the Frankenstein monster. The still is crisp, clean and in near mint condition. It is pictured below.
