James Whale, USA 1931, 71’, cert PG

James Whale’s Frankenstein is loosely based on the novel Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Shelley. The film tells the story of Dr Henry Frankenstein, whose work on the essence of life and death results in him using corpses to create a monster, played by Boris Karloff. The film is remarkable in that it was one of the first to have the camera move through the shot, rather than remaining still and passive.
