Son of Frankenstein (1939)
Country: US
Technical: bw 99m
Director: Rowland V. Lee
Cast: Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lionel Atwill
Synopsis:
The Baron's son returns to the scene of his father's scandalous experiments, and tries to clear the family name by rehabilitating the creature.
Review:
Given a more grandiose conception - and budget - than Son of Dracula, this third instalment in the Universal Frankenstein series has the same impressive production design and prestigious cast as its predecessors, and it tussels with the ethical issues at the heart of its subject. Subsequent instalments would be mere program fillers.
