Another Good (and Funny) Hammer's Film

In the Nineteenth Century, in the small village of Balkan, Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) is performing experiences of transference of human soul to another body, with the support of his assistant Dr. Hertz (Thorley Waters) and the young Hans (Robert Morris). Hans is in love with the deformed Christina (Susan Denberg), the daughter of a local landlord. When Christina's father is killed by three mean and arrogant men, Hans is unfairly accused of murder and sent to the guillotine. Christina commits suicide, and Frankenstein decides to transfer the soul of Hans to Christina's body. Later, he fixes Christina, and she becomes a gorgeous woman looking for revenge.

"Frankenstein Created Woman" is another good Hammer's film. The story is very naive and even funny, and in the present days, people would certainly be malicious with the fact of a man and a woman's soul living in the same body. Peter Cushing is great in the role of the intelligent and visionary Baron Frankenstein, certainly a man ahead of his time. The Playboy playmate Susan Denberg is amazingly beautiful, and I do not know what happened with this beautiful actress, who vanished after a few movies (including Star Trek's episode "Mudd's Women"), in 1966 and 1967. This movie is a very reasonable production of Hammer and a great entertainment. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Frankenstein Criou a Mulher" ("Frankenstein Created the Woman")
