The title character in "Lady Frankenstein" ("La Figlia
di Frankenstein") turns out to be the daughter of the mad
scientist and not his wife. Baron Frankenstein (Joseph
Cotton) has been trying unsuccessfully for two decades to
bring dead tissue to life. Using the corpse of a recently
hung man as his test subject (note the interesting place
they pick to hang the guy), the Baron finally succeeds. But
there is something wrong with the brain and the monster
kills the Baron and goes off to wreck more havoc on the
countryside. Now that she is in control of the laboratory,
having watched her father work since she was a little girl
and having graduated medical school herself, the Baron's
daughter Tania (Rosalba Neri, a.k.a. Sara Bay), wants
revenge. However, Lady Frankenstein wants to do more than
fight fire with fire.
Her plan is to take the brain of Dr. Charles
Marshall (Paul M?ller), her father's old lab assistant and
the man who loves her, and put it into the hulking body of
Thomas (Paul Whiteman), a manservant who is mentally
retarded, so that she can have both brains and brawn. The
plan is that this new creation will get revenge by killing
the first creation, and then return to Tania's bedroom to
find other ways of making her really, really happy.
Meanwhile, Captain Harris (Mickey Hargitay) is
investigating the Baron's death (Tantia makes up a story
about a robber) and spouting interesting lines of dialogue
to the suspects. It also turns out that Tania is not the
only one seeking revenge. The original monster is going
after the grave robbers, so there is a constant body count
in this one. Actually it is not the dead people but the
naked people who count more in this one, especially the
quaint European custom of the man staying fully clothed
while the women is totally naked. Then there are the
strange circumstances under which Tania likes to have sex,
which you are unlikely to forget soon.
Despite the cartoonish poster art for "Lady
Frankenstein," director Mel Welles (a.k.a. Ernst R. von
Theumer) creates an appropriately gothic looking horror
film. However, the story is an uneven mix of interesting
ideas (e.g., chemical batteries are better that lightning
for reanimating dead tissue) and sundry plot holes (e.g.,
how Marshall's brain finally puts two and two together).
Simply in terms of Eurotrash this is an above average
example of the genre, in terms of both the story and the
acting in addition to the bodies. Then again, as good as
Neri looks (as long as you are not watching her eyes dart
back and forth when she is listening to others speak) that
is about how bad the monster (the first one) looks.
Overall, the ending is the weakest part of "Lady
Frankenstein," but that it is actually a plus because
normally it is the set up that has you rolling your eyes.
That is once you put your eyes back in your head, because
when you cast Rosalba Neri as the lead character you are
clearly deemphasizing the horror aspects of this particular
horror film in favor of other attributes.
