Vintage 1910 version of Frankenstein!
I believe this is the FIRST film adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein."
This one took a good bit of work to make it watchable. Each segment had aged differently, so each had to be individually restored. I love the early special effects in this one - rather complicated for the time!

Frankenstein
Summary
"While he is in college, Frankenstein decides he must attempt to make a perfect human being. The being he creates is given life in a vat of burning chemicals. On the day Frankenstein weds his sweetheart, who has been living patiently at home, he sees the monster he created reflected in a mirror. Having disappeared, the monster returns to his creator to gain acceptance. However, when the creature is in front of the mirror he disappears again, with only his slowly vanishing reflection left. When Frankenstein arrives and stands in front of the same mirror he witnesses the fading image, signifying the monster's destruction in the face of Frankenstein's increased love for his wife and life"--The Frankenstein film sourcebook.
