Movie Review: Working my way through Univerals


I’m not quite sure how Frankenstein got top billing. The movie is half over before he shows up, and the movie deals much more with Talbot than anything Frank does. He’s just here to stagger around until the end fight. The movie makes it a joke as they don’t tell the viewer that in the script he’s blind and mute but all that exposition was on the cutting room floor. That being said, it’s not a bad movie, and it tends to move fairly well. The singing and dancing “Faro-la Faro-Li” that provides the beginning of the end goes on way too long, and the fight at the end is a bit repetitive. I do hate the ending as it is just an obvious model shot that hurts my feelings after some great special effects work in this and other Universal movies.
