#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: LEE ON LEARNING AND CUSHING THE HEART THROB

#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY : CHRISTOPHER LEE on his time with Hammer films  and The Curse of Frankenstein, and what can be learned by just watching!

#‎frankensteinfriday‬ This a pretty neat shot from Cushing's 'The Evil of Frankenstein'... I guess there is more than one way for an actor to 'faint' or pass out..or as in this case, DROP out! But if you look at the framing and the position of the actor playing the guard here ...it's either Anthony Blackshaw or David Conville...even in his passing out, he frames himself beautifully, getting the most from his screen time...

Here's a great wrap for this week's #frankensteinfriday. This CUSHING TRIBUTE VIDEO was made a while ago and shared on our Peter Cushing Facebook Fan Page on New Year's Eve last year. It set hearts a flutter and the song by 'Girl In  A Coma, is pretty neat too!

#TBT : THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN: BOX OFFICE TRADE PAPER AND PRESSBOOK

#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!'
