THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN James Whale ***** 5/5 James Whale's extravagantly produced sequel to his own Frankenstein
still ranks as one of horrordom's greatest achievements. From his
wittily eccentric direction and Elsa Lanchester's electric hairdo, to
Ernest Thesiger's ingenious portrayal of the perverse Dr Pretorius and
Boris Karloff's alternately poignant and pushy monster, it's a class
act from amazing start to religious-slanted finish. They don't get any
better than this one and some scenes — the unveiling of the bride to
the sound of wedding bells, the miniature people in bell jars — are of
emphatic classic status.
