Footage of monster to be shown
NZPA-AP Los Angeles Frankenstein, not one of the good guys to begin with, gets worse in a new version of the 1931 film now being edited by Universal Pictures. So-called lost footage, considered too shocking when the movie was first released, is being restored, possible for pay television or video release.
Among the missing scenes: The monster throws a little girl into a lake, reportedly cut at Boris Karloff’s request; scientist Colin Clive’s exclamation as his creation comes to life, “in the name of God, now I know how it feels to be God;” the hypodermic needle as it is injected into the monster; and the torch shoved into the creature’s face.
