The film starred Leonard Whiting as Victor Frankenstein, Jane Seymour as the Creature's Mate, David McCallum as Henry Clerval, James Mason as Dr Polidori and Michael Sarrazin as the Creature. The character of Dr Polidori, who did not appear in the original novel, was based on the real-life John Polidori , a friend of author Mary Shelley. A notable feature of the production is that the Creature is portrayed as physically handsome, but diseased, and therefore increasingly ugly as the film goes on. The make-up was by Hammer Horror veteran artist Roy Ashton . It was originally broadcast in two 90-minute parts, but is often seen edited into a single film. |
