I see the art of why this scene was in the film, but i clearly see the reason why it was cut from the movie for decades. Don't forget, Frankinstein didn't really know much of the difference between wrong or right.
mary shelley was no fool, ask yourself why someone would throw a child away? and the person who threw the child away was considered a monster? humm dont think to hard you might just hurt yourself
@MrFalconford This movie has almost nothing to do with the work of Mary Shelley. It's based on the stage play by Peggy Webling, the storyline is completely different from the novel as well as most characters. Her depiction of the Creature and its intentions (she never calls it "Monster") is so much more complex and therefor upsetting than this movie conveys. Unfortunately most people consider this to be the "real Frankenstein"...
@MultiComandercody In the book, he turns against humanity for forsaking him, and starts killing those who are close to Victor, even framing Victor's father's maid for the murder of Victor Frankenstein's brother. Victor knows she is innocent, but he cannot admit it, as doing so would admit he has created this monster. The monster kills his beloved also, as the monster wanted a mate, a female, but Victor would not create such a creature. The monster retaliates against him.
When I first saw this I was like Aww this is so cute! wait...no no, don't throw her in the water....ok she's in the water.....wait she's drowning?! NOOO!
This scene was more effective when you only saw the monster reaching for the girl and then cutting away to the scene in which her father is carrying her body to the mayor. It's always what you don't see that is truly frightening.
It fits the idea that the monster is suppose to be a sympathetic character, yet at the time anything that wasn't created naturally had to be inherantally evil, part of the reason the series went down hill after Bride, the sympathy was all but gone after Son and the monster became simply a mindless brute
I'm guessing she broke her neck on a submerged rock or branch, or something, it's the only way that could've killed her. From what I can gather, college students do worse to each other in 'initiation' ceremonies.
ne 0ne kn0w wat m0vie im thinkin 0f... driving me nuts. sundance channel. f0reign film, 14 yr 0ld hip hop dancer chick t0sses a t0ddler in a lake but she kant jump in and save her kus she cant swim either s0 she saves her with a stick 0r sumthin. the lil girl is her m0ms b0yfriends (wh0 she had sex with earlier) daughter.
In the original release this scene was edited and the part where he throws her into the water was cut. So the scene cut from the monster crouching near the little girl to the scene where her father carries her body into the village. The movie left to the imagination what may have happened. This was an example of censorship that actually wound up making it look like something even worse than being thrown into the water may have happened to the little girl.
boris karloff, argued strongly with james whale about throwing marilyn harris into the water..karloff wanted to gently "place" her in the pond. throwing her in karloff said would make the monster look like a beast..whale won the arguement..
@801liveable It would've been far better that way actually, the throwing in the water is what ruins the scene almost. Also some of the dubbing is terrible even for that time.
@801liveable I thought I had also read that Whale had wanted Karloff to hold her high over his head when he threw her in the pond, but that Karloff's back trouble which had been strained by Whale insisting on countless reshoots of Karloff having to drag actor Colin Clive around wouldn't allow him to do anything more than toss her into the pond.

Frankenstein and The Bride Of Frankenstein rank as two of the most influential flims ever made, right up there with The Wizard Of Oz, ET, Casablanca and other classics. A movie has to not only have something uniquely visual, but it's message must be strong. Nothing stronger than a monster throwing a little girl in a lake, drowning her. That was heavy for 1931. People were shocked and appalled by it.
@rickw1100 >> Yea, this uncensored version also makes him sympathetic because you know he didn't intend to hurt her. He tries to save her when he realizes she's drowning, and the fear in his face when he turns back to run away. While I enjoy Bride of Frankenstein a lot more, you can't ignore the original. Just as good.
@van8ryan -Absolutely, I agree with you completely. I once read that film historians, as a rule, consider the "Glenn Strange" monster as one to be feared,- but the "Boris Karloff" monster, as one to be pitied. I think theres a lot of wisdom in that.
If I'm not mistaken, Karloff had a disagreement with James Whale about this scene. Whale wanted the creature to throw Maria into the water, but Karloff insisted that he gently place her in the water, as throwing her was violent, and the creature was clearly not trying to hurt her. Well, obviously Whale won. (And I agree with Whale.)
At this point in the book, the monster well learned. He's not an ignorant clot. Moreover, at this particular scene, the monster attempts to save the girl -- he dosen't end up making friends with her (or anyone for that matter). The point of this is to show (among other things) societies mistreatment of the different or exotic by means of ignorance. It is to show how society creates monsters.
Why do movies have to reduce stories to a series of meaningless events?
@loftymuses What are you talking about? This scene isn't even in the book. And have you watching this film in full? It's not reduced to a series of meaningless events. The creature is as frightened and confused as he is in the novel.

@LANBritain1 Check out 1930's "All Quiet on the Western Front" to see a World War 1 scene where a bomb goes off as a soldier climbs a fence and when the smoke clears away, all you see are his severed hands hanging from the fence.
Ah you may be right, however - from a young teenage film buff, I've only seen the ultimate classics. I found this one particularly frightening and disturbing because if the whole idea of a child being killed, now it may be the norm, but take in account that 10 years previously film was still silent, sound was still new - so this gives a darker, horrifying feeling to me, everytime I watch it.
@LANBritain1 That's great that you're into this stuff at such a young age. I'm not too much older myself, but I was into these films as a teenager (and even younger), as well. You should check out "Island of Lost Souls" if you haven't seen that one already.
when the second half was cut it created the illusion that the Monster drowned the girl on purprose and enjoyed watching her die seeing the entire thing it's clear it was an accident and you can tell what the Monster's thinking when he throws the girl into the pond
"Flowers Pretty, look flowers float, wait flowers pretty girl pretty, pretty things float so girl must float", you can tell from the look on his face at the end he knows he did something bad and he's scared
@FergusTV1 Tell me, how is the the scientist who created the "monster" an "understood child." If you're referring to frankenstein's monster, you probably mean misunderstood child. Regardless only a retard would call the monster frankenstein.
@gamelvr1 I meant the monster i am sorry for my... mistake i do know the difference between frankenstein and the monster it was simply a mistake nothing more i do know the difference you don't need to call me a retard only retards call people retards ( oh and when i said understood i did mean Misunderstood it wasjust a typo )
@FergusTV1 I don't know if you agree, but I actually like the "censored" version of this scene better. Maybe it's because I grew up with that version, but I just seems more disturbing to me that it's cut out and left to my imagination.
omg, she's holding the cat then in the next slide the cat's running off the screen. it's like the cat knew! lol. But indeed, i saw this movie today in english class and laughed my ass off for a good 2 minutes or so. everyone was looking at me by that time hahahaha
Notice the shift in picture quality when the Monster throws Maria into the water. For many years, that shot was left out of the movie, leaving the audience to wonder exactly what the Monster did to Maria, especially when they saw her father carrying her body through the town later on.
We were watching this in Cinema Study class yesterday. We were all laughing when Frankenstein tossed the girl into the water (we're really messed up, I know).
Although I had watched many movies that contained violence before, I was shocked when I first saw this scene. I would have expected anything, but not that the director goes through with focussing the camera on the killing of the child. I wouldn't have expected this from such an old film. However, from the artistic point of view, it is brilliant, as it comprises the whole drama of the creature in a few minutes. What a bitter story climax...
now I can see why this scene is very much criticized
Frankestein: oh no more flowers...wait....lil girl pretty like flowers, she will float too *toss her* ...yeah.......oh shit...*runs off the scene* lol
@duranls1Dr. Frankenstein is the man who created the "monster" who killed the little girl. How could you be dumb enough to call the "monster" frankenstein.
@gamelvr1 well, sometimes, inventions are named after their inventors. did dr frankenstein not "invent" the monster. i know the monster is never directly referred to as frankenstein in the novel or movies, but i think the common mistake of calling the monster frankenstein could be correct... kinda
We watched this in English today and we saw this scene and every one laugh at the face the kitten is making right before she walks to the river because it looksas though she isstrangleing it
The second half, where the monster accidentally drowns the girl, was cut from the film in some states during it's run in 1931, and completly taken out in 1937 when the film was released, it wasn't restored until 1986. The other famous cut was the line "Now I know what it feels like to be God" in the scene where Frankenstien first brought the creature to life, that line wasn't restored until 1999
@snakes3425 It's an absolute miracle that these scenes survived - Universal was notorious for being the least preservation-oriented of the big studios. They burned many of their silent film negatives in a bonfire for a 1930's film.
WOW! I've never scene this complete with him actually throwing her in! Amazing! This was filmed at what is now the Malabu Creek Canyon State Park, where Planet of The Apes, and MASH and a zillion other films were filmed.
Oh and keep in mind people that this was deleted until the late 80's because it was considered too horrifying for the time along with the end of Frankenstein's line when he first gave life to his creation. Frankenstein's line was cut by thunder, and this ended with him reaching for her (doesn't make much sense since that gives the impression he meant to hurt her and did far worse things). Still that says alot for this movie. It kinda reminds me of William Frankenstein's murder in the book too.
By today's standards it may look a bit silly for the fact it doens't look deep at all, but it still is completely brilliant. My main problem with the Universal Frankenstein movies is they mainly don't even try to go by the book and he wasn't as pitiful till the sequel save for this one scene and his first entrance. But then I went ahead and bought the movies and I'm glad I did. There's so much emotion in this scene alone. Karloff is the Monster.
If frankenstein had seen if the girl weighted as much as a duck and was a witch, she woulda floated and this never woulda happened...monty python if only you had made your movies sooner
Such a sweet yet depressing scene. But then funny for all the wrong reasons.

Notice the shift in picture quality when the Monster throws Maria into the water. For many years, that shot was left out of the movie, leaving the audience to wonder exactly what the Monster did to Maria, especially when they saw her father carrying her body through the town later on.

We were watching this in Cinema Study class yesterday. We were all laughing when Frankenstein tossed the girl into the water (we're really messed up, I know).

Although I had watched many movies that contained violence before, I was shocked when I first saw this scene. I would have expected anything, but not that the director goes through with focussing the camera on the killing of the child. I wouldn't have expected this from such an old film. However, from the artistic point of view, it is brilliant, as it comprises the whole drama of the creature in a few minutes. What a bitter story climax...

@duranls1Dr. Frankenstein is the man who created the "monster" who killed the little girl. How could you be dumb enough to call the "monster" frankenstein.

@gamelvr1 I think you are mistaking me for someone else's comment cause never called Frankestein monster nor even mention his name
duranls1 1 year ago
@gamelvr1 well, sometimes, inventions are named after their inventors. did dr frankenstein not "invent" the monster. i know the monster is never directly referred to as frankenstein in the novel or movies, but i think the common mistake of calling the monster frankenstein could be correct... kinda

is this a deleted scene?

@Sefco26
The second half, where the monster accidentally drowns the girl, was cut from the film in some states during it's run in 1931, and completly taken out in 1937 when the film was released, it wasn't restored until 1986. The other famous cut was the line "Now I know what it feels like to be God" in the scene where Frankenstien first brought the creature to life, that line wasn't restored until 1999

@snakes3425 It's an absolute miracle that these scenes survived - Universal was notorious for being the least preservation-oriented of the big studios. They burned many of their silent film negatives in a bonfire for a 1930's film.

WOW! I've never scene this complete with him actually throwing her in! Amazing! This was filmed at what is now the Malabu Creek Canyon State Park, where Planet of The Apes, and MASH and a zillion other films were filmed.

Yeah, that was a good idea to cut those scenes out. It implied that he raped her.

Oh and keep in mind people that this was deleted until the late 80's because it was considered too horrifying for the time along with the end of Frankenstein's line when he first gave life to his creation. Frankenstein's line was cut by thunder, and this ended with him reaching for her (doesn't make much sense since that gives the impression he meant to hurt her and did far worse things). Still that says alot for this movie. It kinda reminds me of William Frankenstein's murder in the book too.

By today's standards it may look a bit silly for the fact it doens't look deep at all, but it still is completely brilliant. My main problem with the Universal Frankenstein movies is they mainly don't even try to go by the book and he wasn't as pitiful till the sequel save for this one scene and his first entrance. But then I went ahead and bought the movies and I'm glad I did. There's so much emotion in this scene alone. Karloff is the Monster.

well looks like she didn't float so well.

the cat is so adorable in this film and yes i can see the cat was not happy because the little girl was not holding the cat right.
kajehgb 2 years ago
I remember watching this movie in film studies. There was literally a giant, simultaneous gasp when he dropped her in.
Also, the cat @ :14 is NOT happy.

If frankenstein had seen if the girl weighted as much as a duck and was a witch, she woulda floated and this never woulda happened...monty python if only you had made your movies sooner
