Frankenstein's Monster Drowns a Little Girl

submitted by Zifnab

1 decade 7 years 5 months ago

Long before Lenny was accidentally killing puppies in "Of Mice And Men", Frankenstein's Monster had difficulty with beautiful fragile things. In this scene from the 1931 classic, The Monster plays with the innocent Maria, holding flowers and throwing them into the water together. It's a touching, tranquil, and sweet scene, until he runs out of flowers, and he tosses her into the lake where she drowns. Boris Karloff himself fought to get the scene cut from the film, as he felt it was too disturbing, and it was missing from all prints and TV broadcasts after 1937, and was not restored until 48 years later in a special videotape!

Mmmmmkay... I didn't know that's how that scene went. My question is why couldn't that girl stand up in the shallow water directly beside the bank?

Oh how I searched for this clip! (I guess I gave up a couple of months ago). Great sift Zifnab! Definitely the scene that stuck with me after watching this great film.

(of course you mean Frankenstein's monster, not Frankenstein, don't you?!)

Thanks Eden. Whoops, I'm not sure how I missed the Monster bit in the title but I've fixed it now. Thanks again
