Universal did not "buy" the rights to "Frankenstein"--the novel had long since been in the public domain.NB - While the above note is correct, in April 1931 Universal did buy the film production rights to the 1927 PLAY of Frankenstein by Peggy Webling and this was a key source of inspiration for the film released later that year.
In the documentary this was originally elaborated on at some length, including Hamilton Deane's connection to the role - but the need to shorten the running time to a workable length led to the removal of most of the sequence - hence a mistake by omission.
