#TBT Box Office and Press Book Material: 'The
Curse of Frankenstein' was a world wide hit at the box office both in
the UK and USA. Critics in the UK were horrified and generally unkind.
Peter Cushing very wisely, took no notice, and his faith
in the film was borne out very soon after the initial release with by
spectacular box office returns. In the US critics were much kinder, many
highlighting Cushing's performance for particular praise, '....Cushing
enacts the role of Frankenstein without overacting,' wrote Jim O'Connor
in the New York Journal 7th August. 'You could almost hear the nerves
snapping in the audience!'

THE DAILY CINEMA: DR WHO AND THE DALEKS TRADE PROMOTION
A rarely seen full page ad in cinema trade paper 'The Daily Cinema' from 1965 'Dr Who and the Daleks'. Queues around the block to see Peter Cushing as Dr Who and the start of Dalekmania. And all from a time when Dr Who wasn't quite so complicated . . .
