Screen Snapshots No. 11
Long before the release of the cult film Dracula vs. Frankenstein, the original stars of Dracula and Frankenstein met face to face--for a game of chess. The scene is from an early 1934 episode of Columbia Pictures' Screen Snapshots, a series of short films featuring the off-screen lives of Hollywood stars.
From the archive
A Columbia Pictures promotional short which explains how a movie is made. Its presenter-narrator is unknown as is its release date, but since the spotlighted film is Frank Capra's "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" it probably was in 1932 or 1933.
