Artfully directed by Michael Curtiz, Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) was one of the last films to utilize the two-color (red and blue) technicolor process. The macabre story focuses on a talented sculptor of wax figures who is disfigured in a fire and can no longer sculpt, so he resorts to stealing corpses and dipping them in wax to create his new displays. The cast is great, including Fay Wray, Lionel Atwill, Glenda Farrell and Frank McHugh. The story was re-filmed twenty years later as House of Wax, starring Vincent Price.
