"One Man Crazy ... !" The Life and Death of Colin Clive, Hollywood's Dr. Frankenstein

by Gregory William Mank

He immortalized Henry Frankenstein in Hollywood's Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein , but his too-brief life was often a horror saga as well. "One Man Crazy!" The Life and Death of Colin Clive is the first full biography of this brilliant, hypersensitive actor. Adventurously-researched, sympathetic yet unsparingly revealing, and featuring over 200 illustrations, this book illuminates Clive's genius - and the private demons that agonized the man who, as Monster-Making scientist Frankenstein, unforgettably cried, "It's alive!" Gregory William Mank is the author of such books as It's Alive! The Classic Cinema Saga of Frankenstein; Bela Lugosi and Boris The Expanded Story of a Haunting Collaboration; Hollywood's Maddest Doctors; and Laird A Hollywood Tragedy.

Excellent book. Very well researched with interesting detail regarding Colin Clive’s life. I’m a huge fan of Clive and could not ask for more.

Excellent bio on an excellent actor. Somewhat sad...
