Jeff Amaris,
Duly noted. I altered my post to add that, and to accomodate both FREAKS (somehow slipped my mind, until Mitty's post, even though I'd long planned to watch my old LD of FREAKS this Monday night!) and DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE (1932 version, another glaring example of absent-mindedness) into my pre-1950 Top 10.
