Geoff Pevere
A sumptuously-appointed account of the life of the 16th-century Spanish royal Joan of Castile.
Rick Groen
Nothing more or less than an outright bodice-ripper -- it should have ditched the artsy pretensions and revelled in the entertaining shallows.
Gary Dowell
There's a little violence and lots of sex in a bid to hold our attention, but it grows monotonous after a while, as do Joan and Philip's repetitive arguments, schemes and treachery.
Roger Moore
Forget the Psychology 101 study of romantic obsession and just watch the procession of costumes in castles and this won't seem like such a bore.
Connie Ogle
It's López de Ayala's show, and she's relentless in her energy and passion.
Michael O'Sullivan
A bodice-ripper for intellectuals.

Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) dares to tamper with life and death by creating a human monster (Boris Karloff) out of lifeless body parts. It's director James Whale's adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel blended with Karloff's compassionate portrayal of a creature groping for identity that makes Frankenstein a masterpiece not only of the genre, but for all time.

Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula's devastating desire.
