'' is a
1967 British Hammer Horror film directed by
Terence Fisher . It stars
Peter Cushing as Baron
Frankenstein and
Susan Denberg as his new creation. Also in the cast is
Thorley Walters . It was followed, three years later, by ''
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed ''.
Where Hammer's previous Frankenstein films had concerned the physical aspects of the Baron's work, the interest here is in the
Metaphysical dimensions of life, such as the question of the
Soul , and its relationship to the body.
''Frankenstein Created Woman'' was originally mooted as a follow-up to ''
The Revenge Of Frankenstein '' during its production in
1958 , at a time when
Roger Vadim 's ''Et Dieu créa la femme'' (''
And God Created Woman '') was successful. The film finally went into production at
Bray Studios on
4 July ,
1966 . It was Hammer's penultimate production there.
Baron
Frankenstein (
Peter Cushing ) revives the dead body of a disfigured girl, Christina (
Susan Denberg ), who has committed suicide following the wrongful execution of her lover, Hans (Robert Morris), for murder. The Baron's further experiments succeed in transplanting Hans's soul into Christine, who then takes revenge on the young dandies who framed Hans for their own crime.
