:09:02
very, very gay and funny character,
:09:05
that was created by Whale
:09:08
in the development of the screenplay
for the second film.
:09:12
Frankenstein.
:09:15
Yes, there have been developments
since he came to me.
:09:19
Unlike the original film, Mary Shelley's
novel featured a highly articulate monster.
:09:25
Bride of Frankenstein
restored the monster's speech.
:09:28
Before you came, I was all alone.
:09:31
It is bad to be alone.
:09:33
Alone. Bad.
:09:38
Friend. Good.
:09:40
Speech was the essential difference
between the original Frankenstein
:09:44
and the Bride of Frankenstein.
:09:46
My father really objected
to the monster being given speech.
:09:52
He felt it would take away
from the original portrayal,
:09:57
and I think he was wrong.
:10:01
Cinema history has proven him wrong.
:10:04
It's one of the few sequels that really...
:10:08
most film critics regard
as surpassing the original.
:10:12
Once more, Boris Karloff faced
a gruelling and uncomfortable make-up,
:10:16
designed and applied
by the legendary Jack Pierce.
:10:19
One of the changes in the make-up,
:10:21
besides the fact that Karloff
had gained weight...
:10:24
He wasn't as cadaverous.
I think success...
:10:28
He was able to eat more and
unfortunately he had a little fuller face.
:10:32
But one of the biggest changes
was the results of the fire.
:10:35
So they singed his hair off
and gave him almost this crew cut,
:10:39
which through the film grows,
which I thought was pretty neat.
:10:42
His make-up goes through four
or five stages of regeneration,
:10:46
allowing him to grow both visually
as well as spiritually as the film unfolds.
:10:50
They gave him a burn on his hand and
a bit of a burn on this side of his face.
:10:56
But other than that the make-up
was basically the same.
:10:59
The flat head, and they still had
the electrodes in the brow.
