That is Colin Clive, as Henry Frankenstein, and the great Dwight Frye, as his hunchbacked assistant, Fritz. I have to laugh at the opening of 1935's "The Bride Of Frankenstein," where the actor playing Lord Byron refers to Fritz as a "dwarf." How could Universal allow such inaccuracy???????
Well, "Plant now, dig later," as the saying goes. Today is All Souls Day, and these two wanted to be on hand to wish all a happy Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day! Wasn't that generous of them?????????????
This shot is from the 1931 original "Frankenstein." What artistry and camerawork; just look at that shot. No wonder I could not resist putting it in a post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, greetings to all, dears, and have a marvelous weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn’t mind seeing “Journey’s End” again.
Alcoholism was Clive’s undoing.
Frye had a heart attack in his forties.
Gone too soon.
Victoria, I have never seen "Journey's End," so I am with you. I knew Clive
died from alcohol; I wonder how much being gay figured into that as well.
I used to think Frye was gay but he was not. He wanted to be a serious actor,
but these roles paid the bills. I think he could have done it. Too bad he left us too soon! Another actor similar to Clive's circumstances, was William Eythe, who appeared as Antoine The Miller with Jennifer Jones in "The Song Of Bernadette."
