Viewing Notes
Pregaming for BRIDE tomorrow at Pickwick
Kinda great that he’s “Hank Frankenstein”
There’s two commentary tracks on this. I dropped over to one during the village festival scene bc I felt that set I’d seen before. Yep. I will have to listen to those in full someday.
perhaps the greatest single image is also one of the biggest flubs in this movie… it’s the one where the monster is just outside of Elizabeth’s bedroom (after he tried to take her) and he runs off. The flub is that it happens so fast like in one second where he’s escaping at the window before they run into the room. James Whale should’ve held for a beat as the monster looks back into the room. It’s a horrifying moment as Elizabeth lays sprawled out on the bed. I have a really good still of this as a desktop background.

Sad that this only lasted but a fraction of a second in the actual film.
