Claude Rains, The Invisible Man, 1933. Both stars of the 1930 Frankenstein – Dr Clive and monstrous Boris Karloff – had talks with their director, James Whale. Clive wanted a break back in the UK. Boris accepted the lead until a bitter row with Whale ruined any collaboration…for a full year and The Bride of Frankenstein.
- Lionel Atwill, Lancer Spy, 1937. Clive was Colonel Fenwick when he fell ill and died. Therefore, Atwill joined British George Sanders and Mexican Dolores Del Rio – both passing for Germans!
