“The Man Who Made a Monster” The tagline to the horror classic Frankenstein.
Colin Clive has his place in movie history as mad scientist Henry Frankenstein (Victor in the book) in the 1931 classic and it’s even higher rated sequel Bride of Frankenstein (1935). I wrote about these films at hubpages 9 years ago.
The only other Colin Clive film I’ve seen is Mad Love with Peter Lorre.
I have Clive of India in my collection but I haven’t got round to watching it yet. Journey’s End is another I’d like to see some day.
Nice work Bruce. Vote Up!
