Contrary to the title, this is not a straight up 1:1 adaptation of the novel; but you know what? It was for the best. In my really controversial opinion, this is a better tale overrall than the novel. Victor is actually a very sympathetic and caring (to a certain point) person but still messed up. He actually likes the monster as if it were his own child at the beginning, but then the monster slowly begins to "deteriorate" of some form, which repulses Victor, but even at this state he still somewhat cares for it. Like it when he let the Monster try to kill himself because he knew it would've been better for both, or even after knowing he killed at least 2 people, he still saved it from being drowned in acid. The Bride -- or Eve-- is actually a character here, and just like with Adam, it's performance by Jane Seymour is phenomenal, and everytime she appeared on screen you either laugh from her weird sense of humour and clumsiness, or get intentionally weirded out by how she is trying to be Elizabeth, but get's treated like a tool by Polidori; in which he is basically the main antagonist of this movie. The ending is also emotional and perfect. Don't let the runtime scare you, if you are fan of monsters, this is a absolute must see.

Best ever Frankenstein story hands down. Even better

Best ever Frankenstein story hands down. Even better than Mary Shelley's original. Her's is the original but this version adds and improves the overall depth and meaning of the story. i am a million percent certain that Mary Shelley would have approved of and loved this version. And for a television movie from the 70's, this is excellent. I would love to see a modern movie version of this now. I wish that Guillermo del Toro version they did last year had been this. This has so much more depth and emotion than any other version. I was really left feeling little if anything from Guillermo del Toro's version. But I have really felt that way about all of his movies. There has never been any depth or connection for me with anything del Toro has made. Visually it is always stunning but none of his films have ever had any emotional impact on me. None of them. I see them but I am always left feeling bored overall.
