Description

The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). James Whale's lasting contribution to the cinema was a sense of humor and style, on full display in "The Bride of Frankentstein." The film was a major hit for Universal and many critics feel it is the best film to emerge from the horror series of pictures created by the studio. Boris Karloff reprised his role as the Monster, and Elsa Lanchester, with a shock white streak of hair, co-starred as the monster's mate. The borders were trimmed on this poster but have been expertly restored, and there was a large tear in the poster running from the center of the top border through Karloff's face and down just past his shoulder. This too has been expertly restored and is now difficult to see, making the poster very presentable. The colors on this half sheet are brilliant and completely unfaded, rare for material on this title. From the New Zealand Collection. Very Good/Fine on Paper.
