Review of The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) by Cody F — 09 Nov 2010
Enjoyable Hammer version on the Frankenstein story. Great relationship between Cushing (Baron Frankenstein) Urquhart(his mentor and partner Paul). Cushing is obsessive, not mad in this which makes it more realistic and the story concentrates on the tearing apart of a partnership more than the monster itself.
Christoper Lee is sad and creepy as the tortured monster. The studio had to come up with it's own version of the monster because of Universal's copyright of the Karloff monster and it looks like a decomposing version of Michael Myers, which is effective in bright 50's color.
If you like Hammer films this is a must.
