English Summary:
The Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 American science fiction horror film, and the first sequel to Universal Pictures' 1931 film Frankenstein. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels in cinematic history, with many fans and critics considering it to be an improvement on the original Frankenstein.
On a stormy night, Percy Bysshe Shelley (Douglas Walton) and Lord Byron (Gavin Gordon) praise Mary Shelley (Elsa Lanchester) for her story of Frankenstein and his Monster. Reminding them that her intention was to impart a moral lesson, Mary says she has more of the story to tell. The scene shifts to the end of the 1931 Frankenstein, in 1899.
Villagers gathered around the burning windmill cheer the apparent death of the Monster (Boris Karloff). Their joy is tempered by the realization that Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is also apparently dead. Hans (Reginald Barlow), father of the girl the creature drowned in the previous film, wants to see the Monster's bones. He falls into a flooded pit underneath the mill, where the Monster – having survived the fire – strangles him. Hauling himself from the pit, the Monster casts Hans' wife (Mary Gordon) to her death. He next encounters Minnie (Una O'Connor), who flees in terror.
Henry's body is returned to his fiancée Elizabeth (Valerie Hobson) at his ancestral castle home. Minnie arrives to sound the alarm about the Monster, but her warning goes unheeded. Elizabeth, seeing Henry move, realizes he is still alive. Nursed back to health by Elizabeth, Henry has renounced his creation, but still believes he may be destined to unlock the secret of life and immortality. A hysterical Elizabeth cries that she sees death coming, foreshadowing the arrival of Henry's former mentor, Doctor Septimus Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger).
Hungarian Summary:
Frankenstein titkos kísérleteinek eredményeképpen életre kelti laboratóriumában az elhunyt Evát. Hirtelen robbanás rázza meg a kastélyt és elpusztul az életet adó gépezet. Frankenstein, Eva és néhány segítőjük megmenekül. Úgy hiszik sokáig, hogy Viktor, a szörnyszülött a lángokban lelte halálát. Viktor viszont csatlakozik egy vándorcirkuszhoz és bosszút esküszik. Frankenstein közben saját ízlése szerint formálja Eva fejlődését, aki szerencsétlenségére hamar túltesz alkotója akaratán. Eljön az éj, mikor Frankenstein doktort saját kreatúrái tetemre hívják.
