	Frankenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel by Mary Shelley.
		Frankenstein is in some ways allegorical, and was conceived and written during an early phase of the Industrial Revolution, at a time of dramatic change.
		Frankenstein and his utter disregard for the human and animal remains gathered in his pursuit of power can be taken as symbolic of the rampant forces of laissez-faire capitalism extant at the time and their basic disregard for human dignity.

	Frankenstein (1931)
		Like Dracula, Frankenstein was made in 1931, at the very beginning of the sound era of cinema, and at the birth of the horror movie in America as a distinct genre.
		Frankenstein and Waldman decide that the creature must be destroyed, and after shooting it up with enough tranquilizers to put a moose to sleep, Waldman volunteers to do the dirty work, freeing Henry to return to his home and his impending marriage.
		The girl’s father discovers her body at about the same time that the monster gate-crashes Frankenstein’s wedding reception, and when the bereaved man and Frankenstein put their heads together, the result is a full-scale manhunt that ultimately traps the monster in a rickety— and highly inflammable— windmill.

		This is the original film version of the Mary Shelly book "Frankenstein", and in spite of it somewhat simplistic dramaturgy, it should be a must for all fans of monster movies or classical cinematography.
		FRANKENSTEIN 1931 is still a fright to me. Because of Boris Karloff and a wonderful supporting cast headed by Dwight Frye, the gothic atmosphere and the absence of music - you can SMELL death and fear....
		This set of Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein are the best features that Universal ever made from the monster era; The cast and the latters darkly humour are flawless, the direction is of the highest quality; not a dull moment in any of these two films.

	The DVD Journal: Frankenstein (1931): Classic Monster Collection
		Shelly's Frankenstein is firmly rooted in the Romantic/Gothic genre, which was a reaction to the essentially positivist, rational world that the Renaissance introduced a few hundred years earlier.
		Nowhere in Shelly's novel is it suggested that the creature's brain is a criminal mind — a plot point in the film that suggests the doctor's experiment could have worked, provided his hunchbacked assistant (also not in the novel) had pilfered a healthy specimen from the medical college rather than a jar of psychotic gray-matter.
		In fact, while some high school and college students today are often introduced to the original novel in a classroom setting before seeing the 1931 film (as this writer was, years ago), for nearly 200 years the theater was where a lot of folks first met the misguided doctor and his creature.

		The film's most famous scene is the one in which Frankenstein befriends a young girl named Maria at a lake's edge, and mistakenly throws her into the water (and drowns her) along with other flowers.
		Frankenstein pats the coffin with his ear close to it, murmuring that there will be a resurrection: "He's just resting - waiting for a new life to come." They haul the heavy coffin back with them on a cart as the moon rises.
		Frankenstein hopes to use the victim's brain in his experimental attempt to assemble a new human life form, but the body falls to the ground.

		"Frankenstein" is a highly entertaining, action-packed, and suspenseful version of the Mary Shelley classic.
		Frankenstein (Colin Clive), a young man obsessed with bringing the dead to life, and his loyal hunchbacked assistant Fritz (Dwight Frye) troll the graveyards for corpses.
		The close-ups of Clive and (especially) Karloff are effective, and the scene with the peasant (Michael Mark) carrying his lifeless daughter (Marilyn Harris) through the astonished village may be the best in the film.

		One of the most exciting revelations of this latest restoration is the inclusion of a line that had been missing from the film since 1938, when the Hays Office ordered its removal from all prints.
		After Frankenstein's monstrous creation moves its hand ever so slowly against thunder and lightning, its creator maniacally shrieks "In the name of God, now I know what it feels like to be God!" The last restoration showed Colin Clive mouthing the words, but the dialogue was still overshadowed by the crashing thunder.
		The documentary uses a lower-quality transfer for its reprisals of footage of the film, showing how vast the difference is from the previous atrocities of video presentation we've had to sit through.

	Frankenstein DVD Review For The Frankenstein 1931 DVD Movie
		There are people who like to be scared, but that alone doesn’t explain the smashing world-wide success of the original Frankenstein 1931 movie, or the enduring world-wide popularity and persistence spanning centuries of horror legends like Frankenstein (or The Golem before Shelly’s novel), Dracula and the Werewolf.
		Another answer is the answer to a variation on this question that was asked by Boris Karloff of director James Whale during the filming of Frankenstein 1931, as we find out in the making-of documentary on this wonderful DVD from Universal.
		The plot of the original Frankenstein 1931 movie should be familiar to those of you who haven’t been in a mineshaft for the past seven decades, but this is a restored version of the film that has scenes that haven’t see light in almost that long.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Frankenstein (1931): Classic Monster Collection
		Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is a monumental novel from the Gothic/Romantic period, but the 1931 Frankenstein has little to do with it and more to do with the many simplified stage plays that followed.
		Boris Karloff, as the monster, delivers a sturdy performance, but much of the sympathy that the creature generates is a direct result of the heavy-lidded eyes and twisted, half-open mouth, which offer up an unexpected level of expression, asking the viewer to infer the near-human innocence within the monstrosity.
		The entire 71-minute version of the film is on board, and the print is very acceptable, with some damage and flecking, but also with very good low-contrast detail.

		While the story leaves much to be desired (and the film clocks in at a whopping hour and ten minutes!), it still serves it's purpose, which is to entertain.
		All in all, FRANKENSTEIN is a classic and everyone should view it at least once.
		The best scene is possibly the lake sequence (which was cut out of the film but restored in the late 80's), which will most likely shock you.

		Frankenstein's first name Henry and not Victor (like it is in the book)?
		Conversely, the character of Frankenstein's old friend, named Victor in the film, but Henry in the book, has been made a much less pleasant character.
		Therefore, his son Henry had inherited the title of "Baron Frankenstein," and as part of Germanic aristocratic inheritance this automatically places a "von" between the Christian name and Surname of the holder.

		As for the film itself, the production of FRANKENSTEIN was prompted by the incredible success of the earlier Dracula--but where Dracula is a rather problematic and significantly dated film, FRANKENSTEIN was and remains one of the most original horror films to ever emerge from Hollywood.
		Much of the credit for this goes to director James Whale, who by all accounts was deeply influenced by silent German film and his own traumatic experiences during World War I--and who mixed those elements with occasional flourishes of macabre humor to create a remarkably consistent vision of Mary Shelly's original novel.
		Karloff would play the monster again in two later films, one of them directed by Whale, but although THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is a remarkable film in its own right, this is the original combination of talents and the original vision.
