Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley : Frankenstein, the making of the monster
(Video)

DVD Narrator, Donald Sutherland. Executive producer, Tim Cowling ; executive editor, Walter Cronkite ; series producer, Jonathan Ward ; producer/writer, Eugene Vink. Videodisc release of the 1994 television program originally broadcast on The Discovery Channel. The Shelleys and Byron whiled away part of a rainy summer in Switzerland reading and writing ghost stories; Frankenstein was Mary Shelley's contribution. But Frankenstein is more than a great ghost story. Its theme-- that we do not know the monsters our minds can create-- is perhaps even more valid today. The program contains clips from the Boris Karloff film, the prototype of movie monsters, and authors Anne Rice and Ann Mellor add their insights into this book.
