Frankenstein, 1931

Fairly short, around 70 minutes. The monster was more pitiful than I remembered, but it killed a child which I don't think you'd see in a movie today. More gruesome and disturbing to me now than it used to be. Young Frankenstein couldn't completely ruin it.

Reportedly, they were worried that six-year-old child actor Marilyn Harris would be frightened of Boris Karloff in full make-up, but she responded to him the way her character did in the movie. She went right to him and asked to ride with him to the location.
