The Curse of Frankenstein.

Victor Frankenstein(Peter Cushing) is awaiting execution by the guillotine for murder and recounts his life story to a priest. Then it goes back with Frankenstein as a boy after just losing his parents and inheriting the family fortune. afterwards he hires a chap called Paul kremp(Richard Urquhart) as his tutor but soon surpasses his teacher with his knowlege. but they remain friends and he helps Frankenstein with his experiments, but reluctantly later on when Cushing wants to build his own human beings.

One of the true Hammer classics. Peter cushing gives a outstanding performance as the crazed scientist who is so dedicated to his work that he will stop at absolutely nothing even murder if he requires it. and he's so dedicated that he even spends his wedding night working in his laboratory than spending it with his gorgeous wife Elizabeth(Hazel Court). now that is dedication.
Christopher Lee as Frankenstein's monster is very effective too and suitably creepy with hideous deformaties, and violently insane due to a damaged brain. and is particulary nasty to a poor old blind chap when he escapes from the laboratory.

Very good indeed. with great direction from Hammer great Terence Fisher. Photography, acting and the period design are all top notch too 90 out of 100.
