Who will dare?"; the second of the Universal Frankenstein movies, and the only example I am aware of where a sequel is clearly superior to the original movie!; this is James Whale's masterpiece, and almost everyone agrees it is among the finest movies ever made, regardless of genre) starring Boris Karloff (as the Frankenstein monster), Colin Clive (as Dr. Henry Frankenstein), Valerie Hobson (as the bride of Dr. Frankenstein), Elsa Lanchester (in the title role as the bride of the Frankenstein monster, and also as Mary Shelley!), Una O'Connor, Ernest Thesiger (as Dr. Pretorius), E.E.

Important Added Info: Note that Universal hired famed magazine illustrator Rolf Armstrong to paint a portrait of Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein monster, and Armstrong traveled to the set to paint it. This incredible still shows Armstrong and Karloff admiring the finished painting. There is a newspaper clipping glued to the back of the still that shows how it was used. We don't know if this painting was ever used on a magazine cover, because we have not seen it, but we know that the painting itself still exists, and that it now resides in the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Also note that this news photo measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm]. Condition: good to very good. The still is lightly rippled throughout, due to the clipping glued to the back. There is white paint and writing in the top 1/2" of the still, but it only affects the background. There is some white paint touch up scattered in the still, because it was printed in a newspaper and they wanted to make it look its best (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
