Frankenstein 1931

 

This is rather brief. 

It was not bad. 

I note that the Medical School- where Fritz ( Not Igor) steals the brains from is Coed

The father bringing his dead daughter to the town square- was well done

The scenes with the monster are generally good too. The monster seems a large child, often pathetic and helpless. Terrified of the flame and tormented by Fritz Frankenstein's servant

The finale scene with the monster being trapped and burnt alive in the windmill. I think was well done too

There is I think supposed to be a love triangle between Frankenstein and his fiancé's best friend. In modern parlance it looks like the friend is a simp. 

There is a bit of accent distraction here. The little girl, her father and several of the locals have Dixie or Country accents. I also noted that Frankenstein's old mentor had a strange accent. It sounded Welsh to me, but the actor is of German stock

There is one very pretty maid, in the final scenes
