| Description |
Great green eyebrows, greenish clothes and faces, and a hairdressing making coiffures resemble dingy dish clouts, all combined to produce beings that looked more like mossy corpses than airy sprites, while Oberon, with his ghastly face and sinister pokings, pointings and rolling of eye-balls, was reminiscent of 'Frankenstein' filmed in Gruesome Technicolour. |
