Frankenstein (1931)
9/10
James Whale, Director, at his best
6 November 2006
I have seen this movie a number of times, and i never get tired of watching it. James Whale was at his best directing this film and he had a marvelous cast to work with. Colin Clive, the tortured Dr. Frankenstein, Mae Clarke,[ a fellow philadelphian], his loyal, yet confused, fiancée. Frederick Kerr, the old bungling Baron, Marilyn Harris as little Maria, John Boles, with his matinée idol good looks, coupled with his stoic acting style, and last, but best of all, Boris Karloff. Karloff was about 44 yrs. old when he took on this role and boy, he made Frankenstein's monster his, to date no one has come close to his performance. Girls and guys sit back and enjoy. John R. Tracy .
