I liked it. It was interesting, and it wasn’t nearly as tedious as the damn novel. Thanks for the link, RealityChuck. ---

The movie’s name is called Haddocks’ Eyes, but the movie’s name is actually The Aged Aged Man. However, the movie itself is called Ways and Means. ---

Very incidentally, it may be worth citing [this old thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361486) in which someone co-opted this as supposed evidence of Edison’s, very real, anti-AC (and anti-Tesla) propaganda. I was dismissive at the time. Seems I was right. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/frankenstein-restored/824794.md?page=1)
