Fay Wray, Glenda Farrell, and Lionel Atwill- Mystery of the Wax Museum
Ever like a movie in spite of itself? That’s how I am with a lot of movies, if we’re being honest. I love sitting down with a tall glass of raspberry tea and a fat bowl of popcorn and losing myself in a movie so much, I’m not the least bit particular.
A lot of people ask a lot of a movie – I simply ask only that it entertain me. If it gives its viewer a wild ride around the block, so be it.
So long as it’s entertaining.
If it suspends all true reality and believability… so what, it’s all make believe anyway!
So long as it’s entertaining.
If it goes a little too far at times… well, it’s better than not going far enough.
So long as it’s entertaining.
No, Mystery of the Wax Museum isn’t Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, or It’s a Wonderful Life. It doesn’t have to be. It is gloriously itself and it is a very fun 1 hour and 17 minutes. Much of the entertainment is due to the cast. Fay Wray, Glenda Farrell, and Lionel Atwill are each deliciously fun to watch- so throwing them together can only mean one thing… that’s right… a movie that hits the magic mark: It’s entertaining.
Fay Wray and Glenda Farrell… LOVE these Hats!
