April 26- Here Comes the Bride-One More Time!
Tomorrow night on Svengoolie- just as some people swear they’ll never go back to the altar after one more disastrous wedding- we’ve got our final visit to the matrimonial mayhem of the “Bride of Frankenstein!”
This will be our final run of this classic, under our Universal contract-so make sure you tune in to get a look at the Frankenstein series entry that many consider the finest of them all!
You have to know the set-up by now- on a dark and stormy night, the lovely Elsa Lanchester, as Mary Shelley, is complimented by Lord Byron on how such a delicate flower as herself could have come up with the ghastly tale of the Frankenstein Monster. “Ah,” she smiles, “but that wasn’t the end of the story!” And away we go- picked up the story at the end of the “Frankenstein” film- as people celebrate the destruction of the Monster- only to find that he still lives!
We meet a new bizarre character- one Dr. Pretorius, who tries to convince Dr. Frankenstein to join him in creating a new creature! Dr. P has a chance meeting with the Monster himself- who welcomes the idea of the creation of a mate for him!
This film is loaded with great scenes, and Boris Karloff’s Monster portrayal in this film is even more moving than in the original film. Plus, we get Elsa as the Bride in her brief but memorable scenes. We’ll have plenty of background info on the film, as usual-
and a catchy song parody that is still stuck in the heads of some of our editors since we first worked on it!
I also have received word that, besides on WCIU and
Me-TV, this movie will also air on our new Me-TV Milwaukee station- channel 49 (that’s its broadcast designation) out of Milwaukee/Racine! It’s also on WMLW, and our South Bend affiliate-WMYS.
So- make sure you catch “the Bride”- instead of the bouquet- tonight with yours truly!
