Still regarded as the definitive film version of
Mary Shelley
's classic tale of tragedy and horror,
Frankenstein
made unknown character actor
Boris Karloff
a star and created a new icon of terror. Along with the highly successful
Dracula
, released earlier the same year, it launched Universal Studio's golden age of 1930s horror movies. The film's greatness stems less from its script than from the stark but moody atmosphere created by director
James Whale
;
Herman Rosse
's memorable set designs, particularly the fantastic watchtower laboratory, featuring electrical equipment designed by Kenneth Strickfaden; the creature's trademark look from makeup artist Jack Pierce, who required
Karloff
to don pounds of makeup and heavy asphalt shoes to create the monster's unique lurching gait; and
Karloff
's nuanced performance as the tormented and bewildered creature.
Frankenstein
was greeted with screams, moans, and fainting spells upon its initial release, obliging Universal to add a disclaimer in which Edward Van Sloan advises the faint of heart to leave the theater immediately. If they don't: "Well...we've warned you." Director
James Whale
was memorably embodied by
Ian McKellen
in the Oscar-winning 1998 biopic Gods and Monsters.
PLEASE SEE FILM GRADING SCALE BELOW:
Mint or New
:  Means just that.  It may have been run, but still physically looks mint, untouched by a projector.
Near Mint
:  Only the slightest signs of having been run.  Appears Mint when projected on the screen.
Like New
:  Can be older print that was well taken care of.  May have only the slightest signs of use, occasional minor light line or splice or minor cue mark, if any.  Starting at this level, older prints may have a little curl to the film, which is common.
Excellent+
:  Very minimal wear or light lines at times with an occasional, although seldom, splice.  No major repairs or missing scenes transitions from TV use.
Excellent
:  Will have some minimal wear or light lines and may have an occasional temporary light emulsion line, a few splices or minor repair.  Possibly some short lap dissolves or minor cue marks around transitional scenes if it was used by a TV station, but highly acceptable condition.
Very Good
:  Will have some wear and lines, cue marks, minor repairs and usually more splices than desirable.  An occasional emulsion scratch.
Good
:  The same as Very Good but with more scratches, wear and some spots that may be splicy from having been damaged.  Still watchable.
Fair or Poor
:  Will need to be checked for extensive repairs before running.  I usually will never even list anything in this condition, only if a desirable title.
