感想

フランケンシュタインといえばキチガイ博士の元祖みたいなもんですが、いま観たら、けっこう小市民キャラだった！彼がなりふり構わず研究をやってるところはいかにも天才キチガイ博士風なんだけど、その成果が手に負えない怪物だったとわかると、彼はこわくなり、自分の恩師に後始末を頼んで逃げてしまうのです。んで、ヤバい研究はこりごりだと反省し、カワイコちゃんと結婚式をやる。

なんだこいつは！キチガイの風上にも置けない小物ぶり！前半のキャラのままで突っ走るのかと思っていたから、がっくし脱力してしまいましたよ。

ですが、怪物を演じたボリス・カーロフはやはり一見の価値があるなとおもいました。ただならぬ雰囲気といい、「ンゴンゴー！」という台詞といい、やることなすことクレイジーなんだけど、どこか憎めない悲しげなモンスターは観る者の同情を誘います。彼が少女をドボンしちゃうところもよかったです（ビクトル・エリセの『ミツバチのささやき (1973)』で引用されたアレ）。

魔人ブーにとってのミスターサタン（『ドラゴンボールZ』ネタ）みたいな保護者が現れてくれたら、彼は幸せになれたかもしれない！

Memorable Quotes

How do you do? Mr Carl Laemmle feels it would be a little unkind to present this picture without just a word of friendly warning. We are about to unfold the story of Frankenstein. A man of science, who sought to create a man after his own image, without reckoning upon God. It is one of the strangest tales ever told. It deals with the two great mysteries of creation: life and death. I think it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even horrify you. So if any of you feel that you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, now is your chance to, ... Well, we've warned you.

Henry Frankenstein: The neck's broken. The brain is useless. We must find another brain.

Elizabeth: "You must have faith in me, Elizabeth. Wait. My work must come first, even before you. At night, the winds howl in the mountains. There's not one here. Prying eyes can't peer into my secret."

Henry Frankenstein: This storm will be magnificent. All the electrical secrets of heaven!

Henry Frankenstein: The brain you stole, Fritz. Think of it. The brain of a dead man waiting to live again in a body I made with my own hands!

Henry Frankenstein: You're quite sure you want to come in?... Very well.
Henry Frankenstein: Forgive me, but I'm forced to take unusual precautions.

Henry Frankenstein: Come and sit down, Doctor. You must be patient. Do you expect perfection at once?
Doctor Waldman: This creature of yours should be kept under guard. Mark my words, he will prove dangerous.
Henry Frankenstein: Dangerous? Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? Have you never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars? Or to know what causes the trees to bud? And what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy.
Doctor Waldman: You're young, my friend. Your success has intoxicated you. Wake up and look facts in the face! Here we have a fiend whose brain...
Henry Frankenstein: Whose brain must be given time to develop. It's a perfectly good brain, Doctor. Well, you ought to know. It came from your own laboratory.
Doctor Waldman: The brain that was stolen from my laboratory was a criminal brain.
Henry Frankenstein: Oh, well. After all, it's only a piece of dead tissue.
Doctor Waldman: Only evil can come of it. Your health will be ruined if you persist in this madness.
Henry Frankenstein: I'm astonishingly sane, Doctor.
Doctor Waldman: You have created a monster and it will destroy you!
Henry Frankenstein: Patience, patience. I believe in this monster, as you call it. And if you don't, well, you must leave me alone.
Doctor Waldman: But think of Elizabeth. Your father.
Henry Frankenstein: Elizabeth believes in me. My father? He never believes in anyone. I've got to experiment further. He's only a few days old, remember. So far, he's been kept in complete darkness. Wait till I bring him into the light.

(footsteps)

Henry Frankenstein: Here he comes. Let's turn out the light.

Henry Frankenstein: Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!
Victor Moritz: Henry - In the name of God!
Henry Frankenstein: Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!

Maria: Who are you? I'm Maria. Will you play with me?

Maria: See how mine floats.
Maria: No, you're hurting me! No!

Henry Frankenstein: Help! Help!
Villager #1: Listen, it's Frankenstein.
Villager #2: That way.

Baron Frankenstein: Well, as I said before, here I say again, Here's... Here's to a son... to the House of Frankenstein.
Maid: Indeed, Sir. You too, Sir.
