The Bride of Frankenstein

The Bride of Frankenstein

1935, G, 75 min. Directed by James Whale. Starring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson, Ernest Thesiger.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., June 17, 1999

Remember Gods and Monsters? This is the great horror classic that we observe James Whale on the set filming in Bill Condon's loving biopic about the director. It's the one that has Elsa Lanchester with that memorable shock of white streaked through her hair.
