This is a vintage original 27.5 x 40 in. One-sheet poster from the classic Universal horror thriller, FRANKENSTEIN , released in 1931 by Universal Pictures and directed by James Whale. Colin Clive stars as an obsessed scientist who assembles a living being (Boris Karloff) from parts of exhumed corpses. Printed for a 1960’s theatrical re-release in a Spanish-speaking country, the image is a great one and takes some of the best elements from original 1931 publicity material, which is dominated by a huge image of the Monster (Boris Karloff), arms swinging as he goes on a rampage (which is a similar image from the film’s original release title lobby card). Frankenstein’s fiancee, Elizabeth (Mae Clarke), is lying unconscious on a bed after her first “meeting” with the Monster on her wedding day (which is taken from the film’s original release three-sheet poster), with a larger image of a windmill behind her (at which the film’s climax occurs). The entire poster was rendered in various shades of green, which is often used to represent terror or horror. Unrestored and folded as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet poster is in fine- condition with a light additional fold; small areas of separation at the right end of the three horizontal fold lines; small tears and signs of wear on the left border in the third left quadrant; and signs of wear on the bottom left corner. There are no pinholes, stains, or other flaws and this poster really looks great in person with the Monster bursting out at the viewer!
