Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
To save his wife, Baron Frankenstein (
Colin Clive) must build a mate for his monster. Eye-filling sequel to
FRANKENSTEIN is even better, with rich vein of dry wit running through the chills. Inimitable
Ernest Thesiger plays weird doctor [Doctor Pretorius} who compels Frankenstein into helping him make a mate for the Monster;
Elsa Lanchester plays both the "
bride" and, in amusing prologue,
Mary Shelley. Pastoral interlude with blind hermit and final, riotous creation scene are highlights of this truly classic movie. Scripted by
John L. Balderston and
William Hurlbut. Marvelous
Franz Waxman score, reused for many subsequent films.
Cast includes Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson, Ernest Thesiger, Elsa Lanchester, Gavin Gordon, Douglas Walton, Una O'Connor, E.E. Clive, Lucien Prival, O.P. Heggie, Dwight Frye, Reginald Barlow, Mary Gordon, Anne Darling and Ted Billings.
09:30 PM

GODZILLA movie.
