| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Henry Frankenstein?
I know that in fact Frankenstein is referred to as Henry in this film (as well as in the credits). Does anyone know why this is? Why is it not Victor? --MateoP 17:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes, at the time of the first film, Colin Clive was being built up as a matinee idol, which was the reason for the inclusion of the love scenes in both films. Note Clive's wardrobe throughout these scenes is that of the archetypal 1930s matineee idol, and is almost out of place for the 'mad scientist' image. This continues right through to the jodphurs he's wearing in the chase at the end of the first film. As part of this image change, they renamed him 'Henry'.
[edit] Talking?
Some note should be made that the Monster can speak in this movie wheras in the original, he cannot. mice 05:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple pages?
I got 3 different links to the same page when I searched for "bride of Frankenstein" in the search bar... not sure how to mark them to be combined.
[edit] Motive
I felt the need to correct the motive behind the death of the little girl. Someone has written that she was murdered. This is not true. The Monster had no murderous intent when he tossed her into the pond. She was tossing flowers in, and ran out of them. She says "We have no more pretty flowers to toss in" (I'm paraphrasing), and The Monster reasons pretty things float, therefore the pretty little girl will float. Unfortunately, the end of the scene was cut out due to the length of the film, forever changing the meaning of the scene. The next scene is her father carrying her dead body, giving many the idea that she was murdered.
