Although "Behind the Mask" is a predictable pre-code

Although "Behind the Mask" is a predictable pre-code action film, it moves briskly and benefits from its cinematography and star appeal. The plot involves a mad doctor who runs an underground drug ring. Campy and fun.

Considering it was made only 3 years after

Considering it was made only 3 years after the advent of sound, this is a well-designed and photographed potboiler, with decent naturalistic performances. The plot involves a jailbreak, a mysterious (and rather hammy) doctor, Boris Karloff in an early supporting role, drug running, and an FBI agent in disguise. Not bad.

Creepy Columbia Potboiler

A macabre mystery with many elements of the supernatural/shudder scientific genres.Boris Karloff plays a lead henchman in the service of a mysterious Mr. X. His performance does not suggest a red herring role, but he is sinister enough as a grim-faced gangster to keep one's interest throughout the picture. Early on, it seems possible that the sinister Dr. Steiner played by Edward van Sloan may seem to be a more likely candidate for Mr. X., but his performance raises enough doubts to keep the viewer in a constant state of suspense.A very fine "B" feature for the night owl crowd.7/10.Dan Basinger
