The Brilliance of the Original Frankenstein Films

James Whale's Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein are perfect examples and my personal all-time favorites. They really should be viewed back to back, as one continuous film, even though that was not Whale's original intention. He was reluctant to make a sequel to his 1931 original, and Boris Karloff didn't like the idea of having the monster talk (although it did in the Mary Shelley novel). Thank goodness neither got his wish.
