Frankenstein (1931) tinted green? (1 Viewer)

[PaulKTF]

I seem to remember reading on the IMDB that Frankenstein (1931) was tinted green for its premire. I re-checked the IMDB and now I cant' find that fact listed there (maybe someone deleted it because it isn't true?).

Does anyone know if this is true? If so, do any green tinted prints survive? Thanks.

Only a few prints were done this way and they stopped doing this because, while it made the monster looked good, it made everyone else look terrible.

I have actually watched the film with a green tint by fiddling with my television settings. It looks very good for a bit, but after a few minutes you don't really notice it any more.

I don't know if FRANKENSTEIN was tinted green on its initial release, but I can confirm that DRACULA was indeed tinted "Verdante" (Kodak's deeper green color in their Sonochrome pre-tinted stocks) as indicated by the original lab slugs.
