	www.Vampire-World.com - Biographien: John Balderston
		Als das Stück schließlich 1927 in seiner neuen Fassung in den Vereinigten Staaten uraufgeführt wurde, brach es sämtliche Rekorde und übertraf den Erfolg der englischen Fassung bei weitem, was nicht zuletzt ein Verdienst des Hauptdarstellers war, dem legendären Bela Lugosi, der hier den Grundstein zu seiner Hollywoodkarriere legte.
		Balderston erkannte die Möglichkeiten, die sich aus dem Stoff ergaben und setzte sich aktiv für eine Verfilmung des Stückes ein.
		Balderston hatte auch Peggy Webling bei der Theateradaption des berühmten Romans "Frankenstein" von Mary Shelley zur Seite gestanden, auf der das Drehbuch zum Universal "Frankenstein" aus dem Jahre 1931 von James Whale beruhte (an dem wiederum Garret Fort mitschrieb.) 1932 schließlich war Balderston als direkter Drehbuchautor am Skript von Karl Freunds "Die Mumie" beteiligt.

	Classic-Horror Review of Frankenstein (1931)
		On a stormy night, the scientist and his assistant bring to life an inhuman being, stitched together from the parts of corpses, infused with the spark of electricity (thanks to Ken Strickfaden's wildly Expressionistic apparatus).
		Most of the players of Universal's early-to-mid 1930s are here: Frye, Edward Van Sloan as Frankenstein's mentor, makeup artist Jack Pierce, special effects whiz John Fulton, writers Garrett Fort and John L. Balderston, and director James Whale.
		John Boles is the unnecessary secondary romantic lead that tends to get thrust in these movies for reasons beyond my conception.

		Yes, this was based on Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula," Dramatized by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, but the precision timing, carefully posed stances, and stilted delivery were, dare I say it, 'vintage' Parke.
		You may have noted that Parke is one of my favorite directors in the area, perhaps it because I enjoy the sense of humor and dramatic intent with which he approaches each production.

	Review: Dracula (1931) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Although Dracula would quickly be eclipsed by Frankenstein (released later in the same year), its importance in the annals of motion picture history should not be underestimated.
		When the play came to Broadway after a successful run in Europe, John L. Balderston was brought in to re-write it for American audiences, and a relatively unknown Hungarian expatriate named Bela Lugosi was given the title role.
		Manners, who plays the one-dimensional John Harker, is wooden and unconvincing, and often appears to be standing around in scenes waiting for someone to direct him.

		It stars Colin Clive as Henry, Mae Clarke, John Boles, and Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster.
		Karloff is billed only with a question mark in the opening credits, though he was mentioned in the closing credits, which basically repeated the cast that was credited in the opening, under the principle that "A Good Cast Is Worth Repeating".
		It was directed by James Whale and has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

	Dracula
		By the 1970s, Hamilton Deane’s and John L. Balderston’s 1927 play was staged more for chuckles than chills, with a definite air of camp.
		We know this is a 1927 play by John Balderston and Hamilton Deane, and we don’t really think that in these modern days of 1978 that we would be taking this stuff seriously.’ They were winking at the audience.
		This romp was originally devised as a frightening mystery play, first by Hamilton Deane for himself to play Van Helsing, that was ultimately revised by John L. Balderston when the play was brought to Broadway by entrepreneur Horace Liveright in 1927.

	The Mummy
		Although Boris Karloff made his reputation with Frankenstein (1931) and further consolidated it with The Old Dark House (1932), The Mummy was his first starring role (after appearing in seventy films).
		Scriptwriter John L. Balderston was also not a newcomer to the horror genre, having written the original plays on which both Frankenstein and Dracula were based before scripting The Mummy.
		Balderston's earlier theatrical work informs The Mummy and it is remarkable how a number of the themes and ideas found in Dracula (the film, the book or the play), and to a lesser degree Frankenstein (the film version of which had already pilfered from Browning's Dracula) reoccur in The Mummy.

	Dracula, a CurtainUp review
		The same can certainly be said of the annual Actors Theatre of Louisville presentation, a 1927 adaptation by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, which has proven quite accomplished at drawing crowds seeking Hallowe'en season thrills and chills.
		William McNulty's direction never lets up on the tension and foreboding that hang over the household of Dr. Seward (Mark Sawyer-Dailey), whose pale anemic daughter Lucy (Krista Lally) suffers from nightmares that a strange Dutch professor Van Helsing (Adale O'Brien as a kind of female S. Cuddles Sakall) is called in to cure.

		Screenwriters Hurlbut & Balderston and Director James Whale have given it the macabre intensity proper to all good horror pieces, but have substituted a queer kind of mechanistic pathos for the sheer evil that was Frankenstein
