    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film contains an homage to Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein (1974). When the monster and the bride are dancing together, the song they are dancing to is Putting On the Ritz. Christian Bale shouts out "Putting on the Ritz!" in the same manner that Peter Boyle did in Young Frankenstein.
    • Goofs
      Though there are various stylistic and musical cues that might be considered poetic license, among several potential professions available to women in the 1930s that detective Jake Wiles mentions to Myrna Malloy, astronaut is too incongruous.
    • Quotes
      • The Bride: I would prefer not to.
    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the credits, a laughter can be heard. The HBO Max CC reveal this to be Mary Shelley.
