Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was largely financed through Harry Cushing, but just prior to the start of filming a letter of credit from a film company was not accepted by the Italian banks. The final last-minute $90,000 needed to make the film was obtained from Roger Corman's New World Pictures. The financiers of the film chose Rosalba Neri as the lead role of Tania Frankenstein in the film.
- GoofsThe head of a crew member can be seen in the mirror behind Dr Frankenstein and colleague whilst they try to bring the monster to life.
- Quotes
Tania Frankenstein: My dear man, you are obnoxious, extremely vulgar - and while I am certain that what you are thinking is merely fantasy on your part, I would say you spend too much time alone in your fantasies; be careful: it will soften your brain far quicker than can whisky.
Jack Morgan: How can someone so beautiful be such a bitch?
Tania Frankenstein: Depends on the company I'm with.
- Crazy creditsThe movie ends abruptly after the main character dies, without any credits.
- Alternate versionsThe US release through New World was cut by 15 minutes. The complete film was available on a Swedish VHS (long OOP) and there is a forthcoming (2005) dvd release of the restored feature from a German company.
- ConnectionsEdited into Rob Zombie: Living Dead Girl (1999)
- The movie begins with Dr. Frankenstein buying a corpse from a grave-robber to use in his experiments. His daughter's arrival puts a kink in his plans, but he forges on in his quest to create life. When his monster does come to life, it immediately attacks and kills the good Doctor. Tania (the daughter) is also a doctor and wants to carry-on with her father's experiments. So, while the original monster terrorizes the community, Tania hatches a plan to take the brain from Marshall, the lab assistant, and place it into the hunky (Did I just use that word?) body of a retarded servant. Will she succeed?
- What's not to like about a Frankenstein movie where the basis of creating life is sex? Tania doesn't get all philosophical on us and start babbling about discovering the origins of life and the secrets of God. Sure, Tania wants to see her father's reputation restored by proving his theories, but she also wants to create the ultimate lover and isn't afraid to say so. It's as good a reason as any I've heard in a movie for creating a monster.
- I've always thought that Lady Frankenstein was better than its reputation suggests. Oh, it's got problems, but I always have fun watching it. Lady Frankenstein comes across to me as an Italian Hammer-style film - rich, vibrant colors, nice Gothic touches, attention to details, and a lot of fake looking blood. The cast consists of a who's who of Euro regulars. Joseph Cotten, Rosalba Neri, Paul Muller, and even Mickey Hargitay give performances that are as good as most any other Italian horror film of the period. I also like the references to the old Universal film that can be found in Lady Frankenstein. For example, Dr. Frankenstein's line about man being God on earth takes Colin Clive's speech from the original Frankenstein to a whole new level.
