The most elaborate--and longest--of Universal's
Frankenstein
series,
Son of Frankenstein
represents
Boris Karloff
's last appearance in the role of the Monster. The title character is played by
Basil Rathbone
, who with wife
Josephine Hutchinson
and son
Donnie Donegan
returns to the Old Country to take over his late father's estate. Rathbone receives a cool reception from the local villagers, who remember all too well the havoc wreaked by his father's monstrous creation. Though he assures his neighbors that he has no intention of following in his father's footsteps, Rathbone is hounded by suspicious town constable
Lionel Atwill
, whose stiff artificial arm is an unfortunate legacy of an earlier confrontation with Karloff. Also hanging around Frankenstein Castle is crazed shepherd
Bela Lugosi
), whose neck was broken in an unsuccessful hanging attempt. Lugosi wishes to exact revenge on the city fathers who'd tried to execute him, and to that end persuades Rathbone to revive the hideous Karloff. At first resistant, Rathbone becomes as obsessed as his father with the notion of creating artificial life. Now the fun begins, directed with Germanic intensity by
Rowland V. Lee
. Though
Mel Brooks
's
Young Frankenstein
has rendered
Son of Frankenstein
virtually impossible to take seriously, the film remains an excellent marriage of the slick, sanitized production values of the "New Universal" and the Gothic zeitgeist of the earlier
Frankenstein
epics. Best line: Lugosi, looking over the dormant body of The Monster, explains raspily that "He does...things...for me." Hans J. Salter's intense musical score for
Son of Frankenstein
would continue to resurface in Universal's
Mummy
B pictures of the 1940s. Watch for
Ward Bond
in a bit part as a police officer...and see if you can spot
Dwight Frye
, whose supporting part was excised from the final release print, among the villagers.
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.
