Indeed, it&#8217;s a rare sequel which is widely cited as better than its predecessor. While I&#8217;m quite fond of the original <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=18354\"><em>Frankenstein<\/em><\/a> (I think it holds up equally well, on its own merits), I&#8217;ll concede that <em>Bride<\/em> &#8212; a darkly humorous campy romp &#8212; is even more <u>fun<\/u> in many ways. Peary notes that &#8220;there are many reasons the film is better than the original, not the least being that it deals with the Monster&#8217;s need for female companionship, which is central to the second half of Shelley&#8217;s novel&#8221;. Indeed, to that end, I would actually argue (as I&#8217;ve read elsewhere) that the two short films could\/should be viewed as Part One and Part Two of the same movie, given that they possess (mostly) the same roster of actors, and were directed by the same visionary. <\/p>\n<p>At any rate, Peary goes on to argue that this second film &#8220;is not cold, bleak, or depressing like the original&#8221; (apples and oranges, anybody? I find nothing wrong with the first film having more of this tone), and that it &#8220;has a higher budget [so that] the production values breathe life into the story&#8221; (though again, I found the production values just fine in the original). He notes that &#8220;the claustrophobic castle and laboratory sets are balanced by spacious, candle-lit chambers with shiny floors and columns, all covered with shadows&#8221;, and exclaims (rightfully so) over &#8220;how wonderful the expressionistic forest [is]!&#8221; As Peary points out, &#8220;neither Whale nor cameraman John Mescall strove for realism&#8221;, given that this &#8220;film is meant to be a visualization of a story&#8221;. He calls out the way Whale &#8220;has fun with the four stars&#8217; angular faces&#8221;, shooting them &#8220;in tremendous close-ups, often using wild camera angles&#8221; &#8212; indeed, it&#8217;s this particular element of the film that strikes one as most innovative and astonishing. (&#8220;Really? He&#8217;s filming from THAT perspective?!&#8221; you&#8217;ll find yourself wondering aloud.) <\/p>\n<p>Peary accurately argues that the 5&#8217;4&#8243; Lanchester is &#8220;marvelous in her brief appearance as the Bride&#8221;, walking on &#8220;2 1\/2-foot stilts that make her movements birdlike&#8221; &#8212; yet despite her visual dominance in our collective consciousness of this film, she&#8217;s really a very minor character, not showing up until the very end, and on-screen for less than five minutes. Thus, Peary&#8217;s right to note that &#8220;it is Karloff&#8217;s touching performance&#8221; (as in the original) &#8220;that makes this film great.&#8221; While he&#8217;s &#8220;almost hidden beneath Jack Pearce&#8217;s remarkable make-up, his sensitive eyes still come through, expressing the Monster&#8217;s feelings&#8221;. Peary sums it up perfectly: &#8220;With Karloff in the part, the Monster is eloquent even when silent&#8221;. Just as memorable, however &#8212; and arguably an equally essential ingredient in the film&#8217;s success &#8212; is the bold performance given by Thesiger as &#8220;one of the genre&#8217;s most eccentric scoundrels&#8221;. Whenever this angular villain is on-screen, we simply can&#8217;t look away &#8212; particularly as he&#8217;s showcasing his display of miniaturized humans, each perfectly realized, and reminding one of the expert special effects work done a year later in Tod Browning&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=11743\"><em>The Devil Doll<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Boris Karloff as The Monster (nominated by Peary as one of the Best Actors of the Year in <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Karloff.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Karloff-1024x599.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Karloff-1024x599.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Karloff-128x74.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Karloff-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Karloff.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Ernest Thesiger as Dr. Pretorius<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Thesiger4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Thesiger4-1024x599.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Thesiger4-1024x599.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Thesiger4-128x74.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Thesiger4-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Thesiger4.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Elsa Lanchester&#8217;s brief appearance as the Monster&#8217;s would-be bride<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Lanchester.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Lanchester-1024x599.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Lanchester-1024x599.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Lanchester-128x74.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Lanchester-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Lanchester.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>John Mescall&#8217;s atmospheric cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Cinematography5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Cinematography5-1024x599.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"374\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Cinematography5-1024x599.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Cinematography5-128x74.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Cinematography5-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bride-of-Frankenstein-Cinematography5.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Charles D.
