Overview"In accordance with the Hitchcockian maxim, ""the more successful the villain, the more successful the film"", BAD BOYS: The Great Villains of Cinema - From the Beginning to the 1940s, delves into the history of early cinema by exploring the lives and works of a cohort of pioneering actors. These individuals intricately wove their professional trajectories around a distinctive cinematic role: that of the antagonist, the villain, the bad boy. How can one not connect the ethereal Max Schreck to the inaugural Nosferatu in cinema history, or Rudolf Klein-Rogge to the portrayal of the mad scientist? Equally, the hypnotic Bela Lugosi becomes inseparable from Count Dracula, and Boris Karloff forever embodies the monstrous Creature of Frankenstein. These characters etched these actors into the annals of history, propelling them to cinematic stardom and casting them as legendary villains."
