The Lost Frankenstein Film

Rare still from Frankenstein Meets the Jazz Singer, produced and abandoned by Universal and Warners in the mid-thirties. In this shot the monster performs "Mammy" in Green-Face.

I saw some of the footage for this once, and I'm sorry it was never finished. I particularly like the scene where the Cantor throws the bar mitzvah boy into the lake.

This was him after the bris, right?

Most gut-wrenching scene in the movie? This line:

"My son was to stand at my side and sing tonight - but now I have no son! I don't even have a monster! Everything is farblondget! Feh!"
