On TCM last night was the original "Frankenstein". I know it may not be everyone's 'true to life/book fav', but I love it.
While watching it, made some observations:
After the monster knocks down Dr. F, his fiance
Elizabeth comforts him....her mannerism reminded me so much of Carolyln's (specifically, when Carolyn's hair is flattened down). Yes, I realize I probably wanted to see this, but still....
Karloff really plays the monster well...he was gawky like anyone, put together piece meal would be. He reminded me of an adolescent.
During the wedding...it reminded me alot of the Collins' way:
Give the peasants a little party and expect undying gratitude...the Frankensteins, like their American counterparts 'owned the town/burg/villlage.
Just some thoughts....have a good weekend,
Patti
