Frankenstein

Frankenstein (1931) starring Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, Boris Karloff. The original monster movie, with Clive as the mad scientist, Henry Frankenstein, and Karloff as the monster he creates from dead body parts. Of course, he doesn't intend the monster to be a monster, it's just that his assistant provides him with an abnormal brain to use in his effort to revivify dead tissue. This is a classic, almost must-see movie, with many memorable moments. (Subtitles in English are available for the hard of hearing.) Grade: B
