Everyman

The True Story of Frankenstein (1986x10)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Eki 19, 1986

This Everyman special traces the Frankenstein myth's extraordinary progress through modern culture, using a wealth of clips and illustrations. It includes the first television showing of the first Frankenstein film - the 1910 Edison version, which was lost for over 50 years and was finally found in an attic in the US mid-West. At its heart is an original dramatisation of the major scenes from Mary Shelley's story, closely following - unlike other films - the spirit and content of the novel. Combining dramatisation, film extracts, documentary sequences and interviews, Everyman explores a myth that still haunts us today.
