	Amazon.co.uk: Frankenstein [1931]: DVD
		This, like Igor, is also not fully true, Frankenstein's monster kills Fritz only after being tormented by him, and then inadvertently kills a little girl, who he has been playing with by trying to float her on the lake, the way the two of them have been doing with flowers.
		Henry Frankenstein in convinced that he can create a living being from dead bodies, and does so with the help of an assistant (who surprisingly, for me at least, is called Fritz not Igor in the film - though he is an ugly hunchbacked dwarf).
		Frankenstein is so well known that even if you haven't seen the film, you will know the cadaverous image of Boris Karloff as the monster.

	Frankenstein (1931)
		Quotes: Henry Frankenstein: The brain you stole, Fritz.
		Although the material is relatively melodramatic, and occasionally extremely so (especially in the case of Henry Frankenstein), the performances always come across as serious and realistic rather than campy (with the possible exception of a single snarling "growl" from the monster when he encounters Elizabeth, Frankenstein's bride-to-be).
		The interior of the "watchtower", where Frankenstein's private laboratory is located, is reminiscent of German expressionist films such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), and they both contrast and cohere wonderfully with the more symmetrical, right-angled lab equipment constructed by Kenneth Strickfaden.

	Frankenstein
		Scientist Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) and his hunchbacked assistant, Fritz (Dwight Frye), embark on an unholy mission by stealing a body from a graveyard and a human brain from a medical college.
		FRANKENSTEIN is James Whale’s first stylish, expressionist film (INVISIBLE MAN, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN) to grace the Universal horror cycle of the 1930s and 1940s (DRACULA, THE MUMMY).
		"The classic and definitive monster/horror film of all time, Frankenstein (1931) is the screen version of Mary Shelley's Gothic 1818 nightmarish novel"

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Frankenstein
		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.
		"Frankenstein" is a highly entertaining, action-packed, and suspenseful version of the Mary Shelley classic.
		The performances of Clive, Frye and Karloff are so memorable that they defined the stereotypes (respectively) of the mad scientist, his hunchbacked assistant (more often named 'Igor'), and Frankenstein's monster.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Great Movies :: Bride of Frankenstein (xhtml)
		"Bride" belongs largely to Praetorious and the Monster, despite the subplot involving Frankenstein (Colin Clive) and his fiancee (whose wedding date is postponed by the doctor's distractions in the laboratory).
		Their quest forms the inspiration for James Whale's "The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935), the best of the Frankenstein movies--a sly, subversive work that smuggled shocking material past the censors by disguising it in the trappings of horror.
		His inspiration for the Bride was Maria, the artificial woman from Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" (1927)--where he also borrowed ideas for Praetorious' laboratory, with its platform that lifts the Bride up to the heavens to be penetrated by lightning bolts.

		Frankenstein and Waldman decide to kill the beast through lethal injection, but the monster doesn't die too easily.

		This, the most famous film version of the novel,stars Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as Henry Frankenstein [sic], with Mae Clarke (Elizabeth), John Boles, Dwight Frye (Frankenstein's hunchback assistant, Fritz), and Edward Van Sloan.
		Universal therefore featured Karloff as the Creature in two more Universal films, The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and The Son of Frankenstein (1939).
		Universal in fact filmed two endings, and in the end chose to release the one with the happy conclusion.

		That night Dr. Frankenstein sends Fritz to a local university to carry out the final step in his reanimation project -- to steal a brain to use in their experiment crafted from stitched-together corpses.
		The strain of carrying Dr. Frankenstein to the summit of a windmill at the film's climax was so great, in fact, that Karloff required hospitalization for back problems.
		In addition to its classic status in the annals of movie making, Whale's Frankenstein was an enormous financial success.

	igor
		The cliché has its origins in the character of Ygor, played by Bela Lugosi, in the Universal Studios horror movies Son of Frankenstein and Ghost of Frankenstein; it also owes something to the hunchbacked lab assistant in the first film of the series, whose name was Fritz.
		The archetypal Igor, however, is probably the character of that name played by Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks's parody of Universal's Frankenstein movies.
		Igor or Egor is the traditional or cliché hunch-backed lab assistant to the mad scientist, familiar from many horror movies and horror movie parodies.

		Along with Fritz Lang's The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse, Quatermass 2 was the missing link in the progression of pop pulp sci-fi from the serial thrillers of the 40s, to the James Bond films of the 60s.
		Quatermass 2 is shot in gloomy black and white, with less than stellar production values (some folks don't like the monsters much), but it is a taut thriller told with Val Guest's most cinematic direction, and with a cast that really believes they're fighting to save the world.

	Frankenstein (1931)
		The film's name was derived from the mad, obsessed scientist, Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive), who experimentally creates an artificial life - an Unnamed Monster (Boris Karloff), that ultimately terrorizes the Bavarian countryside after being mistreated by his maker's assistant Fritz and society as a whole.
		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.
		Significantly, this film then launched the career of unknown actor Boris Karloff, who is surprisingly uncredited in the opening credits of the film as the Monster.
