The Curse of Frankenstein   1957     3 stars    N/R, 83 min.

Director: Terence Fisher  
Cast: Peter Cushing, Robert Urquhart, Hazel Court, Christopher Lee, Valerie Gaunt, Noel Hood, Fred Johnson, Melvyn Hayes, Marjorie Hume, Sally Walsh, Paul Hardtmuth, Henry Caine, Claude Kingston, Alex Gallier, Michael Mulcaster

  This is the first in Hammer Film's series of Frankenstein movies–and perhaps the best. Mary Shelley's story about man entering a new realm of science without first considering the consequences is told through Dr. Frankenstein's (Peter Cushing) creation of life from dead bodies that results in a creature (Christopher Lee). But, the creature's brain accidentally gets damaged during the resurrection, and the creature turns into a homicidal monster using townsfolk as its victims. This leads to a dramatic confrontation between the monster and Frankenstein.

Greatly overlooked and underratedBobo 11/20/2007 
  Given the campy 1950 sci-fi genre, this movie has reasonably decent production values. I found it to be a fairly engaging attempt to resolve a love triangle by cloning of the woman of interest in a somewhat Frankenstein-ian laboratory setting. IMHO, worth far more than the modest 1-star rating posted above.
