The 1931 James Whale film Frankenstein bears, at times, little more than a surface resemblance to the original Mary Shelley novel on which it was based, Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus. One of the few distinct parallels that the book and film share beyond their core concept is a scene in which the monster interacts with an innocent little girl near a body of water.
