Re: Close to the book?....

I still contend that you could do something very close to the novel as a film (or perhaps a mini-series), and it work. For one thing... when do we actually get a version of Frankenstein's creature that is actually articulate in the way he is presented there? Then it plays on both levels, as he is both an object of pity, and a frightening figure, and the tale keeps its ambivalence between the two....
I vaguely remember a mini series from the seventies. I think it was a BBC production and I think it had Jon Finch in it. I also vaguely remember that it was quite good and pretty accurate.....then again, my memory might be a little vague
