The very first screen adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel only contains the most important scenes, and even depicts the doctor using chemicals to create the monster! 1910's "Frankenstein" will look quite dated to us in the 21st century, but it's still worth seeing as a historical reference. The monster looks like Danny DeVito as the Penguin in "Batman Returns" (remember, this was 21 years before the modern image of Frankenstein's monster came about).
Not any sort of masterpiece, but enjoyable nonetheless.
