15 years! I've only been here for just over half of them but congratulations on being my longest 'relationship'.
LOL! Mine too! Oh, well... OXOXOX!
I love how you do impressions of every character in the movie.
I have a good time and I'm grateful you like them.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQThey're perfectly evocative! 👏🏼🎯
What would have made it even better--that Susan Hayward was in the movie!
He's always great at this and he was doing practically the whole cast this time.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ The Una O Connor one was hilarious. I always remember her as Maid Marion's nurse in The Adventures of Robin Hood
Terrific review of an absolute classic. Ernest Thesiger was one of a kind. He used to do embroidery with Queen Mary at Buckingham Palace. He fought in the trenches in WW1 and when asked about his experience replied "Oh, my dear, the noise! and the people!"
I love that quote and I adore Ernest! Thanks for watching!
😂😂😂😂😂 My husband and I are rolling around the floor in hysterics at your comment!
Oh, what a fabulous story! More please!❤
Steve, I hope your friends and family realize just how lucky they're to have you in their lives.
Love this movie. I have biographies on both James Whale and Colin Clive sitting next to Elsa Lanchester’s autobiography, none of which I have even cracked yet.
Jack Pierces Make-up for ‘Karloff in this is great. The changes he made, such as showing more of the electrodes on the head, to show where the fire from the first film has burnt the hair away, such a lovely touch
You just keep getting better and better. What did we do without you? So happy you did this one.
I'm delighted you think so!
I've done reviews of " Stagecoach" , " Reap The Wild Wind" and " The High and the Mighty" with John Wayne and did a reviwe of " the Cat and the Canary", my favorite Bob Hope movie. You'll find them om my TOQ UA-cam page.
Happy 15th anniversary Steve… I’m so happy I found your page … I’ve loved all your reviews .. and your Impersonations….. another great review … ❤️
Here's to the next 15 years Steve 🎉🥂
Thank you so much!
Favorite reviews on UA-cam ❤️❤️
Many, many thanks! Happy Halloween!
Steve, an absolutely epic review of my very favorite Universal horror film, Bride of Frankenstein! Your character impersonations and background stories involving director James Whale and the rest of the cast is just what the doctor ordered for Halloween! Congratulations on 15 years of pure fun and entertainment with another 15 more to look forward to 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is fabulous! We should make a film of this with you playing ALL the parts!!!!
Another great review, Steve. This is my favourite Frankenstein movie too. Valerie Hobson was a big star over here in the UK, with a long career in film and on the stage. She was of course married to John Profumo, who, but for the infamous scandal, could have been Prime Minister. After the scandal they both retired from public life and focused on charity work.
Congratulations on 15 great years!
JOHNNY! And Steve! Happy Halloween. Love to you both.
Thanks for 15 great years, Steve! 🌈🌈
Thank you for watchiung! Horay!
Love you and all of your reviews! Would like to see you on TCM
You are so funny, you always make me feel better when I’ve had a bad day. Great review of a camp classic with all of these great actors.
Well, well, well Steve.
Yet another topnotcher wrapped and in the can!
I must say that I'm now compelled to reprise this one, viewed but only once long, long ago.
(The 'agos' becoming ever-longer; one catching glimpse occasionally of the beckoning crook of that bony digit! 🥺)
Of the levenderized bunch here, my fav is Thesiger he being so quintessentially that. Yes, he was just SO something or other indescribable.
"Gods and Monsters" impacted greatly here. It is joying to myself that Whale ended in good living circumstances, seriously excepting of course for his last swim. Too young to go out, he was, having still much more within to share I'm sure.
Many thanks to you for this latest and greatest.
Ta-ta, dear Steve.
Steve and Johnny thank you for another scintillating review, I loved these movies when I was a child in Oz in the 70's, a friend would come over and we'd watch Horror all-nighters on the tele hoasted by Deadly Earnest. The information and your impressions are fabulous.
I saw all these films as a kid on British TV on Friday nights in the very late 60s and 70s and was both intrigued and petrified by them. I love that your clips are of the high quality restored versions, they didn’t look like that when I first saw them. Loving your embodiment of all the actors and the characters, Steve, especially the British ones, you bring old Hollywood to life with great hilarity but also, clearly, love and respect for all that talent long gone.
Steve, your videos are such a comfort, thank you so much for all you do to entertain us, and congrats on 15 years!!
You really packed a lot of information in the commentary. It's taken me years to study lighting, makeup, etc., and it was great how you wove these and more components of Great Movie Making into this commentary. Thanks for another wonderful video
Thank you for the great review and fascinating backstories. And to think a couple of decades later Elsa would be serving Ethel and Lucy watercress sandwiches (or as Lucy said they tasted like buttered grass) in a cream convertible headed to Florida..thank you thank you :)
So glad there's yet another stellar TOQ video! I wish there were more, but understand that such quality can't be cranked out!
😀
Great review you really love these classics and it shows- this is a fantastic film in every way acting, art direction camera work - a must see
I totally agree.
Great review. One of the reasons the monster killed Karl was because in a deleted sequence Karl murders his miserly aunt and uncle and blames it on the monster The monster got back at him
Bravo, Steve! A marvelous review of a marvelous movie! And Dr. Pretorius just kills me -- "It's my only weakness."
❤Congratulations!🎉 I love your takes on the movies you choose. Gets me excited to rewatch them... again and again! ❤
Hooray! Mission accomplished!
Nice review Steve and about dinner this Friday night…I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at six. Breakfast is ready at nine. I don't stay after dinner. Not after it begins to get dark. We live in town, nine miles, so there won't be anyone around if you need help...
We couldn't even hear you. No one could. No one lives any nearer than town…
No one will come any nearer than that… In the night…In the dark…
This is an amazing video on the best Horror film of the 1930's. Congrats on 15 years Steve. I was doing some of the impressions along with you.
Great! It's so nice to have company!
Yay! Another one! And 15 years?!? How did that happen? Thanks for all the TOQATMs over the years, Steve!
Our pleasure and thanks for watching!
Hey, Steve happy 15th anniversay and many more. Dwight Frye's hunchback in FRANKENSTEIN, is named Fritz. Ygor, was the broken necked shepherd in SON OF FRANKENSTEIN 1939, portrayed by Bella Lugosi. It was Mel Brooks' YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN that may have codified the name Igor, in the Marty Feldman character. Watch Gavin Gordon as he walks away from the window & the lightning storm : Lord Byron was a club foot and he adds a slight limp. He was the playboy in MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM 1933, the defense lawyer in BORDERTOWN 1935 with Bette Davis, Paul Muni & Margaret Lindsey. I have read he was Edward Everrett Horton's long time companion. Dwight Frye was the only actor who was cast & filmed in every Universal Frankenstein film although often his part was reduced or edited out entirely. I love Dwight Frye's exit line from crypt : "Wadda ya say pal, anymore nights like this, and turn ourselves in and let them hang us! This is no life for honest murderers".
Happy Anniversary!! Your reviews started out terrific, and have only gotten better over the years. Love, love, love how you captured "Bride"! Anyone who hasn't seen it will want to run, not walk, to see it after your review. As ever...Bravo!!
...and thank you. 😊
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Happy Halloween!
You're an absolute delight, Steve! Thanks for this!
My pleasure and thank you!
Has it been 15 years already?? Gee, I was in high school right about that time.....😉👑
I could swear you were channeling Elsa Lanchester❤
LoL bravo Steve another stellar review perfect for this time of year!!!
I spent the second-half of every October every year rewatching the Dracula black and white Frankenstein black and white wolfman black and white there's no better way to spend the season!!! I always much prefer watching a black and white film over anything in color -visually it's just so incredibly stimulating.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Anniversary TOQATM ! We'll always love you Steverino! Greetings from Surf City, NJ!
Awwwww, thanks a bunch! Really appreciated!
You are the best 🎉 you made my night. Thank you 👍🏾
!5 Years! W ow! I remember after finding this channel, going back and watching them all and there were a lot of them. I had forgotten Una O'Connor was in this. She was in so many movies! I saw her recently in Random Harvest. Hppy Halloween!
Superb!
I've never seen Bride of Frankenstein, but I've seen Gods and Monsters (fabulous!) and one of my favorite movies is Bell, Book and Candle and Elsa Lanchester is in that. I can't tell you how many movies you've talked about that I've then bought copies of. It gets expensive to watch your videos. I think it's time I watched Bride of Frankenstein. And then I'll watch your review again.
Congratulations on 15 delightful years! Happy 15th anniversary Steve and Johnny! I love your reviews!
👀🦴🎃⚡🐺👁👿💀☠👺👻It's great to see you Steve and thank you for the festive holiday review.😈
My plerasure!
Congratulations on 15 years of Tired Old Queen at the Movies.
Happy Anniversary and Happy Halloween Johnny and Steve. A wonderful review of a true classic. I totally agree about the quality of James Whale's work. Everyone who contributed to this movie was great.
Perfect in every way.
Feliz quinceañera Steeeeve! I know Brde of Frankenstein is a classic but after Mel Brooks’ version, I can’t see them apart lol Frau Blucher!
Keep the great work up!
So glad to see you back and in the early '30s! Please do more and more and more...Yes, the Bride is a Masterpiece, but so is the original Karloff Mummy - an articulate "monster" that gave him so much to work with. It also has the "esoteric" Zita Johann who is a more than worthy foil to Boris the Great. I wait for her line to the cab driver - "a la Musee des Antiquites..." to set the plot in motion. Please add "The Mummy" to your list and I would love to hear you deliver Mme Zita's line as quoted above.
Will do! Thanks!
Always loved "The Mummy" since I'm an ancient Egypt nerd and a classical film buff. But did you know they cut a huge portion out of the film when Karloff shows Zita the past in the reflecting pool? That was suppose to include a long sequence and extensive back story about their relationship in the past. Instead we only got short clips of what happened. Pity.
Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations Steve and thank you!
Thank you for watching!
I have always enjoyed this as a comedy. It's so much like "Young Frankenstein". That Doctor is a hoot!
Ain't he?
Frau Blucher!
Thank you Steve ! Thank you for doing this iconic movie ❤the children just don't know 💙. This is in rotation year round at my house along with all the Universal Monster movies ❤ fantastic job as always 👍 💜
Ya gotta' love those Universal classics!
You guys really have not aged ❤
Steve thanks for 15 wonderful years! Your fame extends to Sao Paulo, Brazil where I currently live and where a Brazilian friend is also one of your big fans! Parabéns!
Parabens! To you both! Thank you so much !!! Viva Brazil!
You can sell me on any classic film I haven’t seen and make me want to rewatch the ones I have. On a separate note, I’m really enjoying Judy Holliday films because of you!
I'm delighted! She was delightful!
We missed you, Steve ! Greetings from Belgium.
Greetings! Glad you found me again!
What a way to commemorate your 15th anniversary! A wonderful review of an absolute classic movie. Happy Hallowe'en. 🎃
Happy Halloween to you as well! I love this one.
This is always my all time favorite Universal monster film. It's the perfect mixture of Gothic horror and twisted macabre humor. What other film could combine two mad queen scientists trying to create the first Goth chick in film history out of spare parts and give her a hairdo that a drag queen would kill for, not to mention the scene of Pretorious laughing madly and eating his dinner on a coffin surrounded by bones. I think as a kid one of the first voices I ever immitated from films was The Bride's hiss. I always felt Universal missed out when they didn't teaming up The Bride against Dracula's Daughter...if the Frankenstein vs The Wolfman was a huge fight, can you imagine the kind of ghoul on ghoul catfight The Bride and Dracula's Daughter would have been like...hair pulling, monstrous slaps, rolling around and shoving knocking over everything in the laboratory! Deliciously glorious it would have been
"Dracula's Daughter" was great, so few know about that one.
@@ladywisewolf3942 So very true. Both Dracula's Daughter and The Bride should have had their own sequels. If both the Frankenstein monster and Dracula survived their past 'deaths', then those two ladies might have done the same
Perfect for Halloween! Thank you Steve
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching!
Happy 15th Anniversary! You don't look a day older, you lucky boy...
You're still "my only vice"!
I've never figured out just WHERE the Frankenstein movies took place, what with all the Brit accents in the Germanic settings. Still, sometimes you just need to let it all wash over you and not think too much about it.
So much about TBOF to love; a sequel that improved on its original, which sadly didn't happen again in Frankenstein.
Happy Halloween, and remember - - "Don't pull that lever! You'll blow us all to atoms!" 🎃
"Son of Frankenstein" with Basil Rathbone and Lionel Atwill wasn't half bad, but "Bride" is my favorite.
Happy 15th! I dont think I have missed very many of your reviews and because of your recommendations I have increased my collection of classic movies!
Hooray! Mission accomplished! Our main goal was to bring audiences back to thjese incredible films. Thank you for letting us know we're doing a good job! Steve
You're back...and your front, too! Happy Anniversary to 15 years of Tired Old Queen at the Movies. This is my favorite of the classic Universal horrors so this review is a nice Halloween treat. Elsa Lanchester as the bride is one of the silver screen's greatest characters. I can't say enough good things about Franz Waxman's score as well. Happy Halloween to all!
Tht score is so gorgeous! !
Congratulations!
Speak of the devil lol. This morning I thought it is time for Steve to appear with another review and here you are. This is an absolute classic. Wonderful, wonderful, you are the best. Happy Halloween to all those involved with your channel.😈😈😈❤.
And happy Halloween to you as well! I'm watching the old Universa Mummy movies tonight! Such fun!
I haven't seen Bride of Frankenstein since I was a kid and saw it on TV. Time to see it again and appreciate it more fully. Some of that will be due to age, but a lot of it will be due to your background stories!
Great review! Happy 15th...I've been with you guys since the beginning and I've loved every moment. Thank you and your entire crew for all the pleasure you've given ❤
❤❤❤ oh youve made my day. Dont laugh but these movies scared the b'jasus out of me when i was a kid and my mum made me watch them with her because she was too scared to watch them on her own😂😂 Great to see a new review😊
You're not alone. I slept wedged between my parents out of fear when I saw them as a kid. Thank heavens I eventually grew outa' that...a coupla' years back....LOlL
Thank you for the great summary.
1. Gods and Monsters was based on the book, The Father of Frankestein by Christopher Bram.
a) Both the book and film were exceptional
2. Ian McCellan should have won the Best Actor Oscar instead of that Life Is Beautiful nutjob.
Just the best! Thanks, Steve for the great review. ❤️
Happy Anniversary on your show guys.
Thanks so much!
Happy 15th Anniversary Steve! 🎉 Thank you for reviewing one of my all time favorite horror films . I think I like this one even better than the original Frankenstein and I know I'm not alone in the disappointment that the bride herself has such a short time on screen ( especially after all that build up!).Elsa Lancaster was perfect for this role, I met her once at a supermarket in Hollywood where I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Everyone associates Whale with all these terrific horror films but few know he also directed the 1936 version of "Show Boat" with Irene Dunne. Such a talented man. ❤🎃
Love you guys!! Happy Halloween!!
Well, now I have to buy this right away! But,, damn, it won't be as good as YOU performing it!
I'll give you an hour to cut that out! LOL!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Steve, I just now finished watching Gods and Monsters-thanks to you. I'm kind of numb at the moment. There is so much I didn't know or experience about "gay" anything. I mean, I grew up in the theatre, but personally, I fell in love at 17 with a man who was 31, then a psycho for 10 years after that one. Then, my perfect Austrian cop. I never went to bars. I never knew much of anything. This movie is shattering on so many levels. Thanks, buddy.
I love all the old Universal horror films of the 1930s-1940s. Of the 3 Frankenstein films The Bride of Frankenstein is my personal favorite. Happy Halloween!
I'm waiting for you badly 😂❤❤❤
You're badly waiting for me? That;s not good. Hmmmm.... LOL!
Why would little teeny people trapped in airless jars be dancing?
Lol, best not to over think that. 😄
Happy Anniversary! 🎃
Thank you so much!
15 years of not doing The Trouble With Angels and its sequel, Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows.
Nope. Sorry, but with the exception of " Black Narcissus" I'm not partial to nun stories.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Rosalind Russel is rolling her eyes at you.
Yay! It's Steve!
🍂🎃🍁🧡
Yay!!!!
Elsa Lanchester was married to Charles Laughton, which probably shows what a great actor she was. She absolutely killed it in Murder by Death (1976), an insane ensemble film that is worthy of an extra review.
Dazzling movie ‼️‼️💞
In every way!
🎉🎉🎉Yay🎉🎉🎉 STEVE
Love it! ❤️❤️❤️
Me too, Mr Billy!
Love it!
Thanks!
This is a great movie, and another great review. 15th Anniversary, that is awesome. I wish you many, many more years of happiness and success. You're the best Steve! Happy Halloween, and as far as Trick or Treat, I'll take "Trick".
Classic film. I prefer the Invisible Man more, but the cast in this is just wonderful. Una O’Connor was in so many great movies!
She screamed through alot of clssics.
I loved Bride and thought it one of the few sequels that was better than the original. Even the sets looked better and more complete.
Thank you for the education. I still want to send you a tip!!
Nevermind the tip, send me a boyfriend...unless he's C.O.D. LOL!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Bahahahahahjahahahahahaha! Buddy, you are so cute. I think I may be just a few years younger than you. You should have someone. I lost my Beloved 11 years ago. Almost destroyed me. Steve, I can tell you have such a dear heart. I don't know how anyone meets people these days. I virtually grew up in show business, a very lucky little boy in the southern late 60s! Not a good place for a little Queer. I made a living in the biz all my life but was also a professor of music for awhile. Then I went to Catholic seminary !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF? where I met my Beloved. I guess that's too much info. I just love your work. If I order a shirt or something does that give you a bit of remuneration for all you give us?
Please do one on Young Frankenstein with comparisons.
Good idea!
Whenever I see TOQATM suggested, I drop everything 🙂Steve, my offer of a falafel still stands - if you're not too spooked to come to Tel Aviv, that is 🙂
That's falafel nice of you to offer. One of these days...Big Hugs!
How could the studio that was based on horror have possibly dropped The Substance because they didn't want to be associated with it?
It's called; " Shoot Yourself In The Foot Syndrome". Stupidity runs rampant in Hollywood.
Gavin Gordon was the long-time partner of the late great Edward Everett Horton.
Frankenstein wasn't a doctor. He was Herr Frankenstein and later Baron Frankenstein. He never graduated.
You ‘do’ the characters better than the actors themselves!
Uh-oh. Don't let them hear you say that!
In your introduction, you skipped over Elsa Lanchester. Was that a mistake or intended?
Always pretty background 😍 💘💌💓💗
Thank you. I'll tell the owners.
happy ' happy '' congrats ,
Thank you!
