Brought spectacularly to life by the combined visionary talents of director James Whale and make-up supremo Jack P Pierce, this shambling, sympathetic brute, played to perfection by Boris Karloff, was destined to become the stuff of cinematic legend.<\/p>\n<p>From the groundbreaking first film, 1931&#8217;s <em>Frankenstein<\/em>, The Universal Frankenstein Movies 1931-1948 celebrates this tour de force of monster movie franchises.
