Frankenstein (1931), directed by James Whale, remastered, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical mono, commentary track, and subtitles in nine languages.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021884/
Video encoded in two-pass 7 500 kbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image.
English and Spanish subtitles OCRed, proofed and corrected. All other subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : Another classic Universal Monster movie that hardly needs an introduction, the original Frankenstein is perhaps not quite as original and subtext-laden as Bride was four years later, but it's still pretty damn good, and it sticks pretty closely to Shelley's novel (although she's rather hilariously credited as "Mrs. Percy B. Shelley" here). The cinematography looks great, the cast apart from Karloff and Clive is full of Universal players, including Edward Van Sloan and the great Dwight Frye, the makeup is of course by the legendary Jack Pierce, and it's just a good time altogether.
This is quite a good remaster, with generally good image quality overall, a few scenes are lower quality, presumably being sourced from prints or other inferior materials, but it's not particularly distracting. The commentary track is a bit dry, but very informative.
