I might as well say something negative about them.

* In Bride of Frankenstein, two guys that run into the Monster say "It's the monster! Dr. Frankenstein created him with the parts of corpses, he did" (or something to that effect). The question I have is, how did they know? Isn't that why Frankenstein was helping Dr Pratorious, to keep that all hush hush.
* You'd think either Carl laemmle or James Whale would've remembered that they had casted a blonde for Frankenstein's bride to be. I can understand not being able to get the same actress for Bride of Frankenstein, but at least cast someone with the same hair color.

Hilarious.
1) Frankenstein had two endings. In the original, Colin Clive died. When they decided on a sequel, he was made to survive for the re-release.
2) Now I have to go watch again to see the windmill!
3) Cinematic short-hand. You believe in man-made monsters, but don't believe in cinematic short-hand?
4) Mae Clark (who's most famous moment in film was getting a grapefruit in the face from James Cagney, was old news by 1935. Valerie Hobson, whom I've never cared for (AT ALL) was all the rage. She soon faded. But, can't you just tell yourself that Mrs. Frankenstein colored her hair and be at peace;)
