The Bride of Frankenstein (1935, reissue 1953)
Many consider The Bridge of Frankenstein to be director James Whale's masterpiece, the rare sequel that is considered to be greater than the original. The title role was played by Elsa Lanchester, who also played writer Mary Shelley. Boris Karloff reprised his role as the monster, with Colin Clive reappearing as Dr. Frankenstein. The film is in the Library of Congress National Film Registry, which includes films worth of preservation for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." |
