Hi Robert --

I don't have a print of "Frankenstein" available right at the moment - but I do have a print of "House of Frankenstein" (original) available if you're interested in that. Also have a nunber of other horror pictures from that era ... Email me at sts (@) sigel.net ....

Robert,

This showed up on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/FRANKENSTEIN-Rare-Near-Mint-Original-of-1931-Classic_W0QQitemZ6425352824QQcategoryZ63821QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It all seems fine except for that line about the re-recorded soundtrack. On an optical print?

Doug

Makes you wonder, indeed. Thus I asked the seller and am awaiting a reply. [Big Grin]

EDIT

And the answer is: "The sound for the printing negative came from original discs or a density track. The soundtrack was later re-recorded to an RCA for improved fidelity, as it appears on this print."
