Inimitable. Nobody ever wore the Frankenstein Monster makeup better than Boris Karloff, here on the cover of a 4-page program book for a 1957 Austrian re-release of the 1931 classic.
The inside spread features a selection of stills and a synopsis for the film. Credits list Colin Clive’s character as “Herbert v.” instead of Henry, and The Monster is tagged as “Das Ungeheuer”!
A curious back cover montage has The Monster and Little Maria playing the flower game in the cemetery where Clive and Dwight Frye dig for spare parts.

Thank you very much for this post !
It's great, as ever ...
By the way, "Ungeheuer" is the German word for "monster".
(I am a lifelong Boris Karloff fan from Germany.)
