I don't know who W. J. Abbott is, but he certainly has a way with weird dialogue. It's worth watching just for the wonderment of that.
"Sir, you have an air of enquiry about you that immediately offends my deepest nature."
"Don't be polite to him," says Professor Leonide (Lugosi), indicating his dwarf. "He hates it."
"Don't forget, Mr Lee: one must not expect too much from certain types of mentality. --Shut up, Bull Raymond! I remember when you couldn't even make your X!"
"Poor Lily Beth. I kinda hinted that all I needed was a murdered body, but I didn't think she'd take it personal."
Lee (shoves cop): "Wake up!" Raymond (groggy): "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might tend to incriminate or degrade--heh, heh. My unconscious mind."
"To think this wilted flower was once even as you and I."
Strange, baroque script. Who does it remind me of? The Coen Brothers.
