Review of I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957) by D M — 02 Mar 2011
A doctor who is ridiculed by his colleagues for his theories decides to create a being much in the way Baron von Frankenstein did years prior. He desires to create a super human being, not a monster, for the purposes of speeding up the purpose of selective breeding.
He gets his parts when a couple of cars full of teenage party-goers get in a head-on crash. The person he creates is able to speak, think, is physically fit, and is a Christian. The creation escapes (of course) and kills (of course).
Despite the movie's name, it is not a comedy - its actually a decent retelling of the Shelley story.
