Not a lot happening, really. Are you sure this is the right film? Have you pressed 'go'? Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I keep harking back to Young Frankenstein somehow.... It's actually a better story.... The mark of a great comedy... if you took the laughs out, is it still a good movie? . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

This has really little to do with the original novel. I was astounded when I read it all those years ago.

My Dad who was 11 when this film came out told me that with Frankenstein, and also Dracula, the images and story were so horrifying, women were fainting in the cinema.

That's been reliably documented. Both had to be quite a shock in 1931. I know that Frankenstein was originally rated X for adults only. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |
