Bride of Frankenstein is a
1935 horror film which is a sequel to the
1931 film
Frankenstein. The movie tells the story of Doctor Henry Frankenstein (
Colin Clive[?]), who is forced by his monster (
Boris Karloff, billed simply as "Karloff" (although this is an improvement over the original film, in which he was listed as "???")) to build him a mate (
Elsa Lanchester). The plot uses the parallel story of Doctor Frankenstein's marriage to the beautiful Elizabeth (
Valerie Hobson).
The movie was adapted by William Hurlbut[?] and John Balderston[?] from Mary Shelley's earlier work (although she is uncredited). It was directed by James Whale.
The film has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
