consider to be the greatest horror film ever made. Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) dares to tamper with life and death by creating a human monster (Karloff) out of lifeless body parts. Director James Whale's adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel, blended with Karloff's compassionate portrayal of a creature groping for identity made FRANKENSTEIN a masterpiece!BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEINOne of the most popular horror classics of all time, and an acclaimed sequel to the original 'Frankenstein'. The legendary Boris Karloff reprises his role as the screen's most misunderstood monster who now longs for a mate of his own. Colin Clive is back as the overly ambitious Dr. Frankenstein who creates the ill-fated bride (Elsa Lanchester). Directed by the original's James Whales (his last horror film) and featuring a haunting music score, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN ranks as one of the finest films not only of the genre but of the time.

Korngold and Max Steiner, exiled themselves to North America. Following a vicious street assault by Nazis, Franz Waxman, a former jazz musician who had orchestrated Friedrich Hollaender's score for the Marlene Dietrich classic The Blue Angel (1930), also left for Hollywood. His first American score was for James Whale's The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), which following Steiner's King Kong (1933), remains one of the earliest symphonic movie scores of the sound era. (A genuine horror classic, a loving tribute is paid to the film in the 1998 movie Gods and Monsters.) Waxman's richly orchestrated score is by turns exciting and humorous, with a sinuous, almost sultry jazz influence revealing the composer's background. If in places the music sounds corny today, that's because it has been a victim of its own success, imitated and parodied ever since. Yet in 1935 this was an exhilarating new sound, the effect on audiences electrifying, the music recycled for many later productions, most famously the Flash Gordon serials. In this excellent modern recording every detail of this classic score can finally be heard, and the album even includes selections not used in the released film. The short suite from The Invisible Ray is a worthy addition, as are the informative booklet notes. Other fine Waxman scores available in modern recordings include Rebecca and Mrs Skeffington. --Gary S. Dalkin

, it would be comical.
I quite preferred some of the later versions, with the flute playing Egore with his crooked broken neck.
It is however an Horror classic, which sparked of many sequels and similar movies over the coming years, and Frankenstein is name still well known in present day, with a relatively recent adaptation screen named Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Frankenstein (DVD)
Advantages: Good funny bits, excellent acting Disadvantages: Very daft and hubby spoilt all the funny bits by telling me they were going to happen
make sure you keep an eye on his hunch on his right shoulder!
The film was set many years ago in Transylvania and I though that the scenery and settings were very good and made the film more realistic. I thought that the special appearance of Gene Hackman was funny and he played a very daft character so be sure to look out for him.

"...The best of the Frankenstein movies -- a sly, subversive work..." (Chicago Sun-Times, p.5, 03/01/1999)
"...A rarity....The movie doesn't hesitate to go too far....It's a kick..." (Los Angeles Times, p.F24, 02/08/1991)
DVD Description
James Whale's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, the sequel to his classic FRANKENSTEIN, is considered one of the best horror films of all time. After the Monster (Boris Karloff) is trapped in a windmill fire, Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) assumes that the fiendish murderer has perished... but he's not dead yet. Rising from the rubble, the Monster is on the loose again lonely and misunderstood, and killing those who cross him. Frankenstein wants to forget his creation, but the evil Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger) has a diabolical plan to create a mate for the Monster, and Frankenstein must comply or else.
