:14:00
Take off your shirt,
and I'll tell you all about it.

:14:12
George is famous for
his Saturday dinner parties.

:14:16
Great writers, artists,
society folk,

:14:20
all rubbing elbows
with Hollywood royalty.

:14:23
But how many of those
oh-so-proper people...

:14:26
know about the Sunday brunches
that follow?

:14:29
Armies of trade
eating up the leftovers,

:14:33
followed by some strenuous
fun and frolic in the pool.

:14:38
Can we talk about
the horror movies now?

:14:40
Certainly.
:14:42
Is there anything in particular
that you want to know?

:14:45
Will you tell me
everything you remember...

:14:48
about making Frankenstein?
:14:54
Can that count
as one question?

:14:56
- Of course.
- I can't believe I'm doing this.

:15:09
Just like going swimming,
isn't it?

:15:12
Well, maybe you'd like a swim
when we're through.

:15:15
I don't swim myself,
so the pool tends to go to waste.

:15:19
Okay.
Frankenstein.

:15:21
Who came up with
the monster's makeup and look?

:15:23
Oh, my idea, mostly,
from my sketches.

:15:26
Big, heavy brow.
:15:28
The head flat on top so you could take
out the old brain and put in the new...

:15:32
like tinned beef.
:15:34
He's one of
the great images of the 20th century,

:15:38
more important
than the Mona Lisa.

:15:41
Oh, don't be daft.
:15:43
Is just makeup and padding
and a big actor.

:15:46
Is hardly the Mona Lisa.
:15:48
Boris Karloff.
:15:51
How did you ever think of casting him
as the Monster?

:15:56
He'd never even starred
in a movie before that.
