Often forgotten is the performance of the actor who played Frankenstein ,Colin Clive ,a great hammy part but totally overshadowed by Karloff's monster role

These films were/are a great example of British film making (maybe some USA money involved) Fab.

[MouseCheese2010]

@andygin its an American produced film, with a British director, and influenced mostly by German expressionism.

[andygin]

Absolutely wonderfull. I could have watched for longer.

In my local Bolton, Lancashire tongue..

EEEEH BY GUM THAT WERE PROPER GOOD.

[1Thunderfire]

@andygin Yay, a Boltoner! which is where I'm originally from. As my Grandad says: "The old ones are always the best!"

[andygin]

@1Thunderfire They are hun. Thanks for your comment.x

... what a wonderful Edit , Just Perfect !!!!

[llilloify]

Me une una gran ternura con este personje , es el hecho de concederle la vida para ser luego un monstruo cara ala sociedad , tener que ser abandonado asu suerte , me enorgullece que esta magnifica historia saliera de las manos de una jovencita de 19 años llamada Mary shelley ^^

[1Thunderfire]

And the creature never gained a name...

[MouseCheese2010]

@1Thunderfire Mary Shelley once referred to him as "Adam"

That's the closest he's come to actually having a name.

[1Thunderfire]

@MouseCheese2010 Wow, what a coincidence seeing that I'm researching Frankenstein right now as it's a novel that we are going to cover in English Lit. O_o I think the monster refers to himself as being 'your Adam' to Frankenstein.

[alilinzee]

Aw...I feel so sorry for the "monster"....very nice video..lovely music choice too..xx

[TheRadicalreels]

Very well done!

[hardtimesincountry]

@TheRadicalreels Thanks a lot. Love your channel by the way!

[MISTERASMODEUS]

Really amazing film and story. Whale was brilliant. The monster is us I feel. We have no idea why we were put here. We Want to be loved. We Have pity. Yet we destroy and are destroyed. Never understood. Used

[PieRowManiac]

The harp beginning to play as the monster reaches towards the sky is incredibly touching. Very good musical choice, sir.

[hardtimesincountry]

Thank you for your comment. That particular moment you mention is exactly what made me think of Shostakovich's beautiful music.

[lafk52]

I remember feeling such sympathy towards the monster. How great this was!

[DoctorIvanSFN]

Whale could extract pathos from a block of wood. Thank you for uploading this. The musical choice is extremely effective.

[hardtimesincountry]

Thanks for your comment. This scene of the film has never failed to move me, and I've always loved the Shostakovitch piece. They just seemed to go well together!

[JFakeWeston]

One of my favourite scenes along with the creation sequence. It's such a poetic moment seeing him reach for the light. An excellent choice of music!

[GHLIII]

This moment is practically religious. Sublime.

[hardtimesincountry]

Frankenstein is a very special movie. This scene in particular never fails to move me. My use of Shostakovich's music hopefully accentuates what is already there - and like you I wouldn't be averse to calling it a religious feeling.

Karloff was brilliant...

[hardtimesincountry]

He was an extraordinary actor - one of the best in any genre. A sensitive, intelligent man too, apparently. I've read that James Whale gave Karloff very little credit for the artistic succes of Frankenstein, which is a pity. They were both brilliant artists.
