The movie stars Boris Karloff (Mad Monster Party, The Fatal Hour), Colin Clive (Jane Eyre), Valerie Hobson (Life Returns, Great Expectations), Ernest Thesiger (The Robe, Beware of Pity), and E.E. Clive (The Hounds of the Baskerville, A Tale of Two Cities).
The plot is Frankenstein is forced to create a mate for his first creation when his wife is kidnapped. The results can be predicted, things do not end well.
I thought it interisting that in the credits the monster was credited as Karloff, just his last name. I also thought it was interisting that they started the movie off as Mary Shelly telling the story.
I think I am just too much into more modern movies. This one was alright. You should see it if you like horror or other movies of the time. I thought the way the lines were delevered was just strange and annoying. Maybe knowing the basic plot was a minus for me. I was unclear of where the plot. I dont know if it was too much time on not advancing the plot.
Im rating this as a C and would say skip it but its not too strong of a skip.
