In this version of Mary Shelley's story, Dr. Frankenstein (Leonard Whiting) pieces together parts from dead bodies and creates a handsome–not ugly–monster (Michael Sarrazin). When the monster's physical attributes begin to disintegrate, it suffers despair. Frankenstein is forced to help his mentor, Dr. Polidori (James Mason), create a mate, the beautiful Prima (Jane Seymour), for the monster. But, when Frankenstein introduces Prima to society, the monster is angered and kills Prima and then follows Frankenstein to Antarctica to exact revenge. 1 User Review
