    Maybe it’s from a lifetime of Muppet-watching, but I tend to prefer the monsters! (There’s an old Jim Henson sketch from the Ed Sullivan show where a [very cute, I’d say] fuzzy orange monster sees a girl Muppet and immediately dashes offstage. We hear comedic sawing and sandblasting noises, and see him return as a rather innocuous Muppet guy. “Hi,” he says sweetly as romantic violins play. “Hi,” she replies dreamily. Of course, they both turn into fuzzy orange monsters as soon as they kiss, which is as it should be.) I didn’t know Isherwood and Bachardy wrote a Frankenstein screenplay…in Mary Shelley’s original novella I was always touched that the supposed monster showed the only self-awareness and humanity among the characters.
