Not sure what draft this was - its pretty close to the end result from what I can recall. The structure, characters are all the same. There's a bit at the beginning where Frankenstein's other relatives talk about the will - which is intriguing, more The Cat and the Canary type stuff - but we never see them again so it was easily cut. There's more dialogue.
I wasn't a huge fan of this when I first saw it. There's not that many jokes compared to say Flying High. It is done with a lot of affection and respect for the 30s Universal roles. The characters are clearly defined and you can imagine actors being excited to play the parts. The best lines go to Igor - he's got the more obvious gag lines. Some of this is really funny.
