made with
sorry for the mistakes!
Not
a surprise that in the wave of classics transposed to the
"blaxploitation" there is also Frankenstein. Indeed, the surprise would
have been if no director or producer didn’t make a movie Shelley’s
monster.
What
is striking is that unlike most movies that are worthy of the same
vein, in a period when they were a gold mine, and with plot so
evocative, this "Blackenstein" fails completely. It 's a bad movie also
quite boring where production saves plenty of special effects and
lighting leaving in the dark almost everything led the scenes to the
imagination of the viewer. Among parts of body glued bad on actors and
clear reproductions of human limbs "Blackenstein" is probably the worst
film of its kind and nothing is worth the effort to redress this
situation, more than half the film, showing a bit 'of tits and some
splatters
We
must say the incipit was not bad. Dr. Winifred Walker moves at the
laboratory of one of his former professor, the dott.Stein, with the
intention of helping her boyfriend that lost due to a mine in the
Vietnam War the legs. Stein luminary of DNA and winner of a Nobel is
able, more or less seeing the other patients, to give back the legs to
the boy. But, his aide, Malcomb, is madly obsessed with Winifred even to
the point of boycotting the trial and trying to rape the girl. At first
it seems that the operation is successful, but then "Blackenstein"
reveals itself to be a bloodthirsty misogynist monster going to kill
women and women, reaching an apotheosis with the murder out of a "Club"
after just one number of bad comedy that introduces the note singer
Cardella Di Milo.
It’s needless to say, but also the interpretation is bad, but the cast has a large numbers of former famous actors.
For
example, John Hart, "Dr.Stein," actor with all the features of "star"
begins very well his career in the thirties, and then slow down after
the forced stop of the Second World War. Hart participated in many films
, especially western and has been for some seasons the protagonist of
the popular TV series "Lone Ranger" also lauded sitcom later, such as in
"Happy Days".
Not
bad, even the "career" of Liz Renay. Blonde sensational like "Monroe"
was an actress but also a star of the gossip. She told that she had
affairs with famous people like Joe Di Maggio and Cary Grant. What is
certain is that she was engaged to Mickey Cohen, the boss of the Mafia
and financier of her career. Apparently love was so strong to push Liz
to refuse to cooperate with the police to frame Cohen, preferring
prison.
Once
released she continued his career in minor films and then became a
stripper (she performed with her daughter, until the same has not
committed suicide) as well as writer of an autobiography entitled "Face
For The World To See". She has acted under the orders of John Waters (a
good artistic couple must say) and has inspired some passages of his
"Female Trouble" in 1974.
Finally,
the actress Andrea King, another beauty of the forties was a star of
the "Warner Bros" before becoming a television actress in the sixties
and seventies.
