Dan's excellent list has things pretty well covered. I am especially fond of Zucco's small but memorable role early in House of Frankenstein (1944). He plays Lampini, the owner of a traveling horror exhibit who has an unfortunate encounter with the recently escaped Doctor Niemann (Boris Karloff) and Daniel (J. Carrol Naish).

I love George in EVERYTHING I've ever seen him in, but my favourites are THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, MAD GHOUL, DEAD MEN WALK, VOODOO MAN (Ramboona Never fails!)AFTER THE THIN MAN, and a tiny, but enjoyable role as a Sheik in WEEKEND AT THE WALDORF. He knows full well that a shyster is trying to con him..(he is Oxford educated, and speaks perfect English), and he is having just as much fun trying to con the shyster in return. It's a tiny role, and he plays practically all of it silent! Mr. Zucco is, however, ALWAYS memorable.
