The Movie: White Zombie (1932)
What Is It?: United
Artists’ bid to get in on the monster craze is the only top-notch zombie
picture of the thirties, and Lugosi kills as the brilliantly named
zombie-master Murder Legendre. The composite score is excellent.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1919, D.W. Griffith,
Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks incorporated United
Artists.
