The Bride of Frankenstein <\/strong><\/em>(1935)<\/p>\n Director:\u00a0 James Whale<\/strong><\/p>\n Screenplay by: \u00a0William Hurlbut, <\/strong>story by William Hurlbut, John L. Balderston <\/strong>based on premise suggested by FRANKENSTEIN <\/strong>by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley<\/strong> Starring: Boris Karloff, <\/strong>Colin Clive, Elsa Lanchester, Valerie Hobson, Ernest Thesiger,\u00a0 Gavin Gordon, Douglas Walton, E.E. Clive, Dwight Frye, Billy Barty, Walter Brennan, John Carradine\u00a0<\/strong>and Una O’Connor<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Tagline: A BRIDE FOR THE MONSTER COMES TO LIFE IN A SCIENTIST’S LABORATORY!<\/em><\/p>\n The Story:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bride of Frankenstein<\/em> picks up immediately where Frankenstein<\/em> ended.\u00a0 Miraculously, although severely injured, Henry Frankenstein (Clive) is not dead. As the crowd breaks up, some carry Henry back home to recover.\u00a0 Meanwhile the monster, also thought to be dead, has survived the destruction of the windmill.\u00a0 It climbs out and begins to wander the countryside.<\/p>\n Once healthy enough, Henry pays a visit to his friend Doctor Pretorius (Thesiger).\u00a0 Pretorius shares results of his experiments and encourages Henry to continue efforts to create living creatures from cadavers.\u00a0 Henry is hesitant.\u00a0 Despite Pretorius’ pleas, Henry refuses.<\/p>\n Things heat up when the monster returns, Pretorius prevails and Henry is forced to create The Bride of Frankenstein<\/em>.\u00a0 We learn there’s one thing worse than an upset bride.<\/p>\n Thoughts (beware of spoilers)<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s rare that a sequel is better than the original.\u00a0 The Bride of Frankenstein<\/em> is one of those rare ones.<\/p>\n Universal wanted a follow up after the success of Frankenstei<\/em>n.\u00a0 Director James Whale was hesitant to return.\u00a0 It took four years and multiple writers to come up with a suitable script.\u00a0 Once Whale and the script were in place, Karloff, Clive and Frye returned to reprise their roles.<\/p>\n Elsa Lanchester isn’t listed in the opening credits instead a ? is used to name who was playing the Bride. The same was done in Frankenstein<\/em> when a ? was listed instead of Karloff’s name as the actor playing The Monster.\u00a0 Despite being the title character the Bride only appears for a few minutes at the very end of the film.<\/p>\n The scene where Henry visits Doctor Pretorius and is shown the little people he created has always seemed a bit out of place to me.<\/p>\n The Bride of Frankenstein<\/em> has more humor than the original, but the balance is right and it doesn’t detract from the film.\u00a0 I’m looking at you, Una O’Connor.<\/p>\n There are some surprising uncredited cameos in The Bride of Frankenstein<\/em>. Billy Barty plays a baby, while Walter Brennan and John Carradine show up as town folk.<\/p>\n The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Director:\u00a0 James Whale Screenplay by: \u00a0William Hurlbut, story by William Hurlbut, John L.
