James Whale's iconic adaptation
of Mary Shelley’s novel follows the mad scientist Dr.
Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) as he attempts to create life by
assembling a creature from body parts of the deceased. Aided by his loyal
misshapen assistant, Fritz (Dwight Frye), Frankenstein succeeds in animating his
monster (Boris Karloff), but, confused and traumatized, it escapes into
the countryside and begins to wreak havoc. Frankenstein searches for the
elusive creature, and eventually must confront his tormented creation. Like many
early sound films, Frankenstein has no background score. However, for
this special event, a score will be performed live by organist Ben Model.
