Sven- Frankenstein 1970 (1958)

 

Baron Victor von Frankenstein, the last of the infamous family (well, until we me Frederick, maybe?) was tortured by the damn Nazis for not cooperating with them.  He continues with his experiments, but needs more money.  So he lets a movie studio shoot a movie about his family in his castle.    Did Frankenstein also invent reality TV?  Nothing about this can go wrong at all, can it?

It was a pretty fun movie.  I don't believe the year is ever named 1970, since Vic would have been even older by then, assuming he was already a doctor of science in 40s Germany.  Boris is great, as almost always, and the rest of the cast does a commendable job.  The ending is supposed to be a surprise, but it really isn't.

Next week- Forbidden Planet (one of my favorite movies)
