Juggernaut (1936) BORIS KARLOFF

[@thisravenhasflown010]

The amazing professional Boris Karloff, who performed in so many more films before he even saw Frankenstein as a script. He was always excellent to watch

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

He was in a number of silent films, some of which can be found on YT.

[@nadeemmohammed6652]

Boris karloff for me genuine top actor one of akind may his soul rest in peace

[@darrenmiller6927]

Great one, I hadn't seen it. I just love Boris Karloff. Thanks so much.

[@davenix604]

cannot believe this movie is 80 years old,well done

[@susanfaulkner2304]

'Tis now 88 years! 2024.

[@littlelamb56]

A wonderful put down spoken by one lady about another: "Ah, Lady Clifford! What a fine figure she makes! Her early cabaret training has stood her in good stead." Cattiness with class.

[@rameyzamora1018]

Note the gentleness with which Boris covers the nurse's mouth in the scene where she learns the syringe contained poison. He was a consummate performer, a troupe player in the very best sense of the word.

[@nicholasalexander4743]

Lots of actors can play a gentleman, but Karloff was a gentleman who could act.

[@debragburg]

Well said!

I remember seeing a Bugs Bunny cartoon where he comes across a mad scientist, the voice of Boris Karloff. I remember the line" Now be a cooperative rabbit, and let me have your brain."😅

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

He was also the narrator on "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas".

[@michaelkottler]

To clarify for those of you who seem to be confused, in the original Frankenstein movie, Colin Clive plays Dr. Frankenstein and Boris Karloff portrays Frankenstein's Monster, both archetypal characters from the mind of Mary Shelly as part of a bet w/Dracula author B. Stoker.

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

In the comic "The Far Side" by Gary Larson, the monster was named Maurice.🤣

[@malikaaitadjedjou2497]

merci pour tous ces films de Boris Karloff .

[@waderaney7]

A good 🎥 in a fine clear print 😀

[@allanstark4219]

Boris Karloff had this Evil Scientist stuff all to himself. He was the template for most who followed in such roles.

[@michaelkottler]

In Frankenstein, Karloff played The Monster.

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

​@@michaelkottlerThanks for clarifying that. One of my pet peeves is people referring to the monster as Frankenstein.😡

[@rebeccatanner2740]

Lovely film. Thank you for putting up. 🌺😊🌺

[@misfit2022]

I enjoyed this quota quickie from Wardour and Boris excels so much you almost want him to get away with it. The film improves as it goes along building tension along the way and all around the hour mark. Hollywood could learn something from these British filmmakers with their turgid filmmaking.

[@jmet678]

classic actor boris karloff good suspense

[@yeahriight57]

Thank you for sharing 😀

[@TS-1267]

... This Plot Was Popular For While I See... Satisfactory Though MMmmmmm 🤔

[@joecomer8275]

Poor quality print, but what a treat it is too see this often forgotten Karloff classic, one of the few not in my collection. Boris is typically fine, but the rest of the cast and the film in general leave something to be desired. Still a poor Boris film is better than many other actors' best. The grand master here stars in what was the first of his many so-called mad doctor portrayals of the late 30's and '40's. Was Mr. Karloff type cast? Not anymore than James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson were in gangster films or John Wayne was in westerns. I think the thing that seem to escape most people's grasp was that no matter how many villainous parts B. K. played he never played them the same way, giving us film lovers an idea of what a truly versatile actor really was. And when the theatre and television came calling, Boris was given the chance to broaden his range even further. His kind is truly missed today!!

[@joecomer8275]

"And believe me my friends, THIS is a thriller!!!"

[@mxylpx]

+Joe Comer Nicely said and he made a hell of a Capt. Hook..his daughter Sarah made a CD copy for me.

[@joecomer8275]

+mxylpx How nice!! Sara is so awesome. I was so lucky to be able to correspond with her a few years back. That recording in general, although not as popular as the original cast recording of the Mary Martin production, is quite good. But Boris must have been superb in the role and makes the recording with Jean Arthur a real classic. He could play any kind of role. And BTW, I've since acquired a copy of JUGGERNAUT, much my delight. Thanks for your kind words.

[@scottnollen3722]

When it comes to this film, this is a GOOD print! I first saw it 40 years ago, when I was writing the first of my three books on Boris!

[@mikikukuneshoski4940]

You can't see actors like these today

[@nameskhar1510]

Oh yes you can ... Right here on KZbin!

[@maryrozario397]

So true

[@wilde4445]

Mr. Karloff, a very handsome, sophisticated and good actor. I feel sorry that they type cast him.

[@scottnollen3722]

He didn't mind it at all.

[@allenkracalik7662]

Such was the case for actors who played in horror movies until the '70s. Many agents didn't want their clients to accept horror film roles for that reason.

[@michaelkottler]

He went on to a number of other roles,. And btw, in Frankenstein, Karloff played The Monster, not Dr. Frankenstein.

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

But he was able to break free from time to time. One great example was his playing a Chinese detective (Mr. Wong) in 5 movies from 1938-40.

[@CosmeticsBeautyAndMaturity2nd]

weird how some of the really old time classic movies just all of a sudden enteruply cut & end, but all's still good.

[@rebeccatanner2740]

Evelyn Pendall yes I know what you mean.

[@resculptit]

Karloff should be known as the "Experiment" star of Hollywood. I would have loved see him in a comedy or romantic setting rather than the old crazy scientist guy.

[@michaelkottler]

In the original Frankenstein movie, Colin Clive plays Dr. Frankenstein and Boris Karloff portrays Frankenstein's Monster. Just so you know.

[@debragburg]

True, but playing the Grinch resulted in uncounted generations of children loving him. He, along with 17 other actors met secretly in his garage and shaped he founding of the Screen Actors Guild. He was a giant.

[@melissaking6019]

Karloff could have easily pulled off a romantic role. He was elegant, handsome and masculine. He deserved to get the girl at least once.

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

​@@debragburgHe was the narrator.

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

In his early career, he played such characters in silent films.

[@debbiewilson9712]

Worth watching several times.

[@allenkracalik7662]

Another one I'd read about but hadn't seen. Karloff at his usual sinister best, but wasted on this expendable family melodrama.

[@shirleyrandle3138]

Sgood one PF just like always

[@nolawest5183]

Great story, but the ending was ~Rather~ confusing!

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

Rather than face justice, he chose to kill himself.

[@amarreder6241]

Rate 5 Horror Mystery

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

There was no horror and no mystery.😕

[@mxylpx]

Oh, Brother ...whatta pooch!

[@remmymafia3889]

Karloff was an acting stud-NOTHING of his work, that I didn't like. (Mr. Wong, 'Gruesome' in Dick Tracy, etc.)

[@benoitpellet1657]

I really like the Mr. Wong films. Sure, it was yellowface, but at least it wasn’t Charlie Chan style ridiculous faux-Oriental style. Wong was always a westernized gentleman wearing a suit with a flower in his buttonhole and not given to utter fake Chinese aphorisms.

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

His best rôle (imo) was the title rôle in the "Thriller" episode "The Incredible Dr. Markesan". (Aired 26FEB62)
