My father played the monster three times.
:34:03
The third time was Son of Frankenstein,
:34:06
and at that point he decided
he would not do it again.
:34:10
He felt that the story line
had been exhausted
:34:15
and the monster, as he had created him,
:34:18
had done all that he should
be asked to do.
:34:22
He was afraid that it would become
the brunt of bad jokes and bad scripts,
:34:26
and there are those
that would agree with him.
:34:29
Bill Condon's Academy Award-winning
film Gods and Monsters
:34:32
featured a reunion between the stars of
Bride of Frankenstein and their director.
:34:37
Hey, you/ With the camera/
We got a historical moment here.
:34:42
This is Mr James Whale,
:34:43
who made "Frankenstein"
and "Bride of Frankenstein".
:34:47
And this - forget the baby a second - is
:34:50
the monster
:34:52
and his bride.
:34:54
Oh, Karloff. Right/
:35:00
Don't you just love being famous?
:35:03
The figure of the bride is so iconic
that she crops up in all kinds of films.
:35:08
There's this absolutely wonderful Bride of
Frankenstein parody in Small Soldiers.
:35:14
The Bride of Frankenstein shows up in
the Bride of Chucky in a very clever way.
:35:21
She's alive/ Alive/
:35:24
We belong dead.
:35:43
You can do a little drawing of the bride
and people will say "I know what that is."
:35:48
I remember building little Aurora kits
of the Bride of Frankenstein
:35:53
when I was a little kid,
way before I could see the movies,
:35:56
and being totally enchanted by these
creatures lumbering across my desk
