It is the first of the Mummy sequels with Tom Tyler as the Mummy that has always been a favorite of mine. The film has atmosphere and light comedy relief, and an above average cast for a "B" effort. And those closeups of Kharis' face, with his pupils missing, scared the heck out of me when I was a kid. (Okay, okay, they still give me the shivers today).
Charming leading lady Peggy Moran had a relatively short Hollywood career, leaving the film industry after marrying director Henry Koster for a happy union that lasted almost 46 years until his death. Peggy would later go to some film conventions and sign autographs for the fans. There was no other film in her career to which she received as much feedback as The Mummy's Hand, a little bit to the lady's annoyance.
Universal re-utilized one of the same sets in this film for their 1940 jungle adventure Green Hell. But then Universal was still trying to get its bearings after a complete turnover in ownership and talent due to the bankruptcy of the studio in 1936 and loss of control by the Laemmles.
