- SYNOPSIS: The Curse of Frankenstein is a 1957 British horror film by Hammer Film Productions, loosely based on the 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley. It was Hammer's first colour horror film, and the first of their Frankenstein series. Its worldwide success led to several sequels, and it was also followed by new versions of Dracula (1958) and The Mummy (1959), establishing "Hammer Horror" as a distinctive brand of Gothic cinema.The film was directed by Terence Fisher and stars Peter Cushing as Victor Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the Creature, with Hazel Court and Robert Urquhart. Professor Patricia MacCormack called it the "first really gory horror film, showing blood and guts in colour".
- Producer Max Rosenberg originally approached Michael Carreras at Hammer Films with a deal to produce Frankenstein and the Monster (Rosenberg claims that he came up with the title) from a script by Milton Subotsky. Later, both men were cut out of their profit participation making only a $5000 fee for bringing the production to Hammer. Rosenberg and Subotsky later established Amicus Films, Hammer's main rival in the production of horror films during the 1960s. Screenwriter Jimmy Sangster, who adapted Mary Shelley's novel for Hammer, never mentioned seeing Subotsky's script or being aware of Rosenberg's involvement.
- Sangster had worked as a production manager and said that he was keenly aware of production costs and kept the budget in mind when writing the script. Sangster said that his awareness of cost influenced him to not write scenes involving the villagers storming the castle that was typically seen in the Universal horror films "because we couldn't afford it". Sangster in an interview with film historian Jonathan Rigby indicated that he hadn't seen any of the Frankenstein films that Universal made. He just adapted the book "the way I saw it".
- Peter Cushing, who was then best known for his many high-profile roles in British television, had his first lead part in a movie with this film. Meanwhile, Christopher Lee's casting resulted largely from his height (6' 5"), though Hammer had earlier considered the even taller (6 '7") Bernard Bresslaw for the role. Hammer refrained from duplicating aspects of Universal's 1931 film, and so it was down to make-up artist Phil Leakey to design a new look for the creature bearing no resemblance to the Boris Karloff original created by Jack Pierce. Production of The Curse of Frankenstein began, with an investment of £65,000, on 19 November 1956 at Bray Studios with a scene showing Baron Frankenstein cutting down a highwayman from a wayside gibbet.The film opened at the London Pavilion on 2 May 1957 with an X certificate from the censors. Character actor Patrick Troughton originally had a brief role as a mortuary attendant, but his scenes were cut from the finished movie.

- IMPORTANT! Our shipping department takes extra special care when sending out your valuable photographs. We know from our own experiences there is nothing worse than receiving a rare piece of memorabilia that's been damaged in the mail. Therefore, we always make sure to reinforce all packages with extra cardboard and padding, to prevent them from being bent or crushed by the USPS conveyor belts!
Damaged Parcel Insurance
KEEP IN MIND THAT... The USPS Requires a Minimum Flexibility for Flat-Size Pieces that are 10" or Longer!
The piece is not flexible if it cannot bend at least 1 inch vertically and 2 inch horizontally without being damaged (see illustrations above). This is because the flat package must pass through the Post Office conveyor belt as it makes a 40 degree turn. Therefore, despite our secure & professionally packaging, if your parcel should still arrive damaged... you need to contact us immediately!
At that point , we will either:
- Replace the photo(s) at no further cost to you what-so-ever, providing of course we still have prints available of the exact photo(s) you paid for.
- Replace them with similar photo(s) of your choice.
- Give you a full refund the second we receive the damaged photos.
