Movie Description

Notes
Even though the film's melodramatic dialogue and staging betray its origins as a theater piece (the novel was first adapted into a play), the lighting, camera angles and special effects make this film a distinctive part of cinematic history.
    Those responsible for the cinematography and the exquisitely designed sets for the castle and the laboratory show deference to their German Expressionist forebears.
    It is, however, Boris Karloff's performance that gives the film its emotional punch, demonstrating an amazing range despite what must have seemed like a ton of makeup and padding.
    In the opening credits of the film, Boris Karloff is not listed, the player of the Monster is identified only a "?." The monster's makeup took over three hours to apply before filming.
    The studio filmed an ending for the film similar to that of the novel, but decided after previews to use an alternate ending. In addition, the studio cut the scene in which the monster inadvertently kills Maria, the little girl. This scene was restored to the film years later (and is in the Restored Version).

Originally released January 4, 1931.

Frank Graves, Kenneth Strickfadden and Raymond Lindsay created the special electrical effects. Dr. Cecil Reynolds was the technical assistant. Sound system was Western Electric.
