Me (again).



I have a VHS of it in the loft I think ..... I liked it .... Sarrazin was excellent as the monster but it is a bit cheesy in places.

I think they mean 'true' as in the sense that it's closer to the book that Boris Karloff lumping about in platform shoes.



I haven't seen this since my high school days! But I remember it made quite an impression at the time. I recall people occasionally breaking out with "Polydory - ah-hah-hah-ha!" at unexpected moments.

I saw this recently on dvd. I suspect it was more groundbreaking when it came out in the 70s, but it's still very watchable and a contains a treasure trove of good actors.

Hi.

I am not sure why this contained THE TRUE STORY in its title. It does not come that close to the book by Mary Shelly. I saw it on television some years ago. I am inclined to agree with most of what has already been said.

I do mate. The best version I've see so far. I did not enjoy Karloff's pantomine or Deniro's efforts come to that..What ever happened to Michael Sarrazin anyway, the last time I saw him was in a movie about this woman who had a house load of cats it was prity good. I liked him...

What made me bring this subject up was after seeinghim last week in an episode of Murder She Wrote,where he played a Holier Than Thou Amish husband,who turned out not so Holier Than Thou.
