Alas, to this day no surviving footage from these tests has ever been located, so we will probably never know for certain. So great is the film’s contribution to the development of science fiction on the screen that its influence is felt to this very day. Victor refused to create a girl creature to avoid a lot of problems, but he did not realize the hell the monster would end up causing him.

The Lutheran movement took an early hold in Ingolstadt, but was quickly put to flight by one of the chief figures of the Counter-Reformation: Johann Eck, who made the university a bastion for the traditional Catholic faith in southern Germany. They also do not develop the characters as well as the original story, giving the viewer little to no knowledge of a certain person. Synopsis: As a funeral takes place, Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) and his assistant, Fritz (Dwight Frye), lurk nearby. The Jesuits gradually left the university as it sought to change with the times, until the university finally had become so secular that the greatest influence in Ingolstadt was Adam Weishaupt, founder of the secret society of the Illuminati.Shelley’s tried to addresses the above controversy and showed how science and modern technology is sometimes wrong. Hilariously, Victor responds to Elizabeth’s revelation by casually remarking that he recently “ran into” Henry walking in the woods. Frankenstein continues to draw our attention to this motif with his reiterated speeches about the Creature being the product of his hands, his own hands. Waldman tells them that it was because Frankenstein’s experiments into chemical galvanism were becoming dangerous – and because he began to demand that fresher specimens be provided for his work, without much caring how they were obtained. It is a gesture repeated after the film’s great tragedy, the accidental drowning of the child, Maria.

Nevertheless, there would barely be a science fiction film made over the following two decades that didn’t feature a doomed assistant modelled upon Fritz. One such criminal was a blacksmith named Ygor, who was sentenced to hang for allegedly robbing graves. This version of Frankenstein was Deane’s follow-up to Dracula, and like that play was both acquired for production in the United States, and substantially re-written by the American playwright, John L. Frankenstein, but we're also treated to perhaps the most oft-quoted movie line ever, and certainly the defining moment of Clive's career.

Of course, these days, with all that we know about the private lives of James Whale and Colin Clive, it is hard to look at Frankenstein and not read more into it than, perhaps, even Whale himself intended. The organization had its attraction for literary men, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Gottfried Herder, and even for the reigning dukes of Gotha and Weimar.Some modern sources note that the set design of the windmill sequence was inspired by a building in Los Angeles that housed a local bakery, Van de Kamp, which displayed a large windmill as its corporate logo. When I watched them this year on TCM, I thought they looked much too glossy and pretty for horror movies. Later Victor and Elizabeth attempt to pacify Henry's doubting father, Baron Frankenstein, who is only interested in promoting the date of his son's wedding. At the conclusion of the lecture, Waldman makes a statement that has a great impact on Frankenstein. He was a proponent of Enlightened Despotism and, in 1784, his government banned all secret societies, including the Illuminati.

xxxFrankenstein, initially intended to set a precedent for all mad scientists to follow, and to die at the hands of his creation, is given a last-moment reprieve here; and significantly, he must fall to live.The character of Professor Bernstein in the 1957 Hammer film The Curse of Frankenstein is meant to be a replacement for Doctor Waldman. While in the planning stages, “(Pierce) studied anatomy, surgery, medicine, criminal history, criminology, burial customs and electrodynamics, before he even began the grueling daily 5-hour make-up application (followed by two hours of make-up removal) to create Frankenstein” (Feaster). The assistant was messing around in the lab and switched the brain they were using with a deceased criminal’s brain. While he is away at college, he thinks he has found it and begins putting a person together using various body parts. But we all know that Fritz has the intelligence of a …well, let's just say that Fritz wouldn't know the difference between a normal brain and the brain of Abby Normal.
