Lugosi, Karloff, Price...all horror actors whom I've seen biographies of, and even with a longer running time and decent coverage of the passing years. For each one, I wanted more. More movie clips, more newsreel or interview footage, and more footage of people remembering them. For a British TV series that only has half an hour, you don't really get a good overview. Yes, he's the subject of interviews here, and he's very insightful, but you only get snippets of the passing years along with limited movie clips. An actor with his credits and fascinating life deserves at least 90 minutes so this ends up being simply an intro to those who have never seen him on film before to convince them to check out his work.
