Greg Mank asked Valerie Hobson
late in her life
:35:39
if she could pinpoint why Bride of
Frankenstein remained so popular.
:35:42
She replied "Karloff is so moving, like one
of the great clowns who make you cry."
:35:48
"I think this was the secret
of its enduring success."

Franz Waxman asked for Clifford Vaughan
as his orchestrator
:36:29
specifically because of Vaughan's
expertise with the organ.
:36:32
The instrument is associated
with sacred music,
:36:35
evident in this solo rendition
of Schubert's "Ave Maria".
:36:38
Oliver Wallace, later a mainstay
of Disney's music department,
:36:42
was the session player
on a Wurlitzer-style theatre organ.
:36:45
Elsewhere, the organ
is used for profane colour,
:36:48
notably in the danse macabre
of the crypt sequence
:36:51
and in multiple renditions
of the bride's theme.
:36:55
Vaughan also orchestrated
for staff composers Edward Ward
:36:58
and Heinz Roemheld in 1934-35.
