И снова монстр, которого все ненавидят оказывается ранимой натурой, люблю подобное.
Снова, жутко впечатляющая картина!
Хоть и самой невесты было совсем мало ...



Boris Karloff protested against the decision to make The Monster speak, but was overruled.
Since he was required to speak in this film, Karloff was not able to remove his partial bridgework as he had done
to help give the Monster his sunken cheek appearance in the first film. That's why The Monster appears fuller of face in the sequel.

читать дальшеDirector James Whale originally did not want to do a sequel to Frankenstein.
For a time, Universal considered producing a sequel without Whale's involvement.
One possible story included an educated monster continuing Henry's research, while another chronicled Henry's creation of a death ray on the eve of a world war.
However, after 4 years of badgering by Universal, Whale agreed to do the film.

Elsa Lanchester said that her spitting, hissing performance was inspired by the swans in Regent's Park, London. "They're really very nasty creatures," she said.

"The Bride", the most obscure of Universal Studios' Classic Monsters, is on screen for less than five minutes and is the only "Classic Monster" never to have killed anyone.

Valerie Hobson, who plays Dr. Frankenstein's fiancé/bride in the film, was only 17 years old when she appeared in the film (Colin Clive, who portrayed Dr. Frankenstein, was 35.)

Jack P. Pierce altered the make-up of Frankenstein's monster from this film's predecessor to reflect that he had survived the mill fire at the end of Frankenstein with some flesh burns and with much of his hair singed off.

Elsa Lanchester was only 5'4" but for the role was placed on stilts that made her 7' tall.
The bandages were placed so tightly on her that she was unable to move and had to be carried about the studio and fed through a straw.

Not long before filming began, Colin Clive broke a leg in a horse riding accident. Consequently, most of Dr. Frankenstein's scenes were shot with him sitting.

Shot in 46 days at a cost of approximately $400,000.

Boris Karloff sweated off 20 pounds laboring in the hot costume and makeup.

Director James Whale was once derided by a disgusted audience member for laughing during a screening.
