This week it's Bride of Frankenstein.

Next week is Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein.

A true classic, at least by my definition. I liked it because none of the "monsters" played it for laughs; their roles were pretty much played "straight" (except for the Frankenstein Monster's reaction to Lou Costello in the House of Horrors). Special effects (or, the budget) now allowed for actually showing us - albeit with cell animation - Dracula's bat transformation:

[Linked Image]

But, here are a couple of tidbits regarding Bride:

The original ending, as shot, wasn't exactly a happy one - at least not for Dr. Frankenstein. Originally, he perished in the exploding laboratory and in a couple of the high-angle long shots of the debris falling, he is clearly seen standing against a wall next to the Bride. It was decided to give the film a happier ending, as well as to excise about 20 minutes from the film before release. A lot has to do with Karl (Dwight Frye) and how he murders his uncle and frames the Monster for the crime.

A small baby in a jar (Billy Barty) is visible in long shots of the miniature people on Pretorius' table, yet we never see him described. The scene was cut before the film's general release.

The character of Hans (father of the little girl drowned in the first film) is played by Reginald Barlowe, but in Frankenstein the character was played by Michael Mark. Hans's wife (who was not in the original film) is played by Mary Gordon, who played Mrs. Hudson the Sherlock Holmes film series starring Basil Rathbone.

Unintentional laugh: The all-too-obvious dummy thrown from the tower by the Monster. (Like they should have used a human being? sick )

Actor Ernest Thesiger (Dr. Pretorious) liked to do needlepoint. In fact, he had written a book on it several years earlier. He was known affectionately as The Stitching Bitch.

One of my favorite "creation of life" scenes - certainly outdoing the original Frankenstein with better camerawork and a magnificent score by Franz Waxman where music and action synchronize to an amazing crescendo. It must be experienced.

Here's a still from a deleted scene from Bride of Frankenstein where Karl (Dwight Frye) is about to murder his money-hoarding uncle.

If, like me, you're a fan of Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, then you will find this behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the film quite fascinating. It's called "Abbott & Costello Meet the Monsters" and don't be misled by the "bloopers" - while there are some outtakes, it's really a very good documentary.

I haven't finished the documentary I linked to above, so I don't know if this behind-the-scenes story is mentioned or not - but I want to tell it before anyone watches Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Frankenstein actor Glenn Strange stood 6'6" and did not need a stunt double when he played the Monster. But an on-set injury changed that - he broke his ankle when he tripped over a large cable. The Monster's boots were basically made out of cork with solid soles and covered with material, so a boot was hollowed out to accommodate the ankle cast Strange now had to wear. But he was doubled in one physically strenuous scene by Lon Chaney Jr., marking the first time Chaney played the Monster since Ghost of Frankenstein in 1942.

The scene takes place in the laboratory near the end of the film. The Monster picks up Dr. Mornay (actually, Lenore Aubert's stunt double) and throws her through a large window. This is Chaney. It's quite noticeable if you look at the film frame by frame.

Just figured I'd put in the "spoiler" in case there's one person left in the world who still hasn't seen this film! grin

I watch Svengoolie sometimes. He plays some boring movies, but he's got a lot of real classics, too. He usually has some pretty funny commentary about the movies too.

Me too. It's funny how many character actors you see in different movies without realizing what other movies you know them from.
