At the climax, The Monster carries Dr. Frankenstein up the mountainside and through the mill. At the insistence of James Whale, Boris Karloff actually carried Colin Clive in these shots, which were filmed for hours over several days. The 44-year-old Karloff had physical difficulties due to moving in the padding, the back brace that was part of the costume, make-up, and 13 pound lifted boots. He badly injured his back during these scenes (and in his 2 subsequent times playing The Monster). Back problems continued to plague Karloff throughout the remainder of his life.
