SYMPATHY FOR FRANKENSTEN: PETER CUSHING 'THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN' (1964)


One of the few entries in the Hammer Films saga where you feel more than a little sympathy for Peter Cushing's Baron. 'When will they ever leave me alone' a reference to the ever present rampaging villagers and authorities who always seem to be his undoing in the end. The Evil of Frankenstein was Peter Cushing's third appearance as Baron Frankenstein for Hammer Films in 1964.

HELEN AND PETER CUSHING AT TV AWARDS DORCHESTER HOTEL 1956 VIDEO CLIP


Film clips of Peter and his wife Helen are quite rare. But, we found one recently at the ITN resource library. It's Peter and Helen in 1956 arriving at the Dorchester Hotel in London for the 'Television Top Ten News Chronicle Awards' Peter won The Best Actor that year. It's short but worth seeing.

VAMPIRES SOCK AND WAGONS ROLL: PETER CUSHING JULIE EGE AND DAVID CHIANG : HAMMER FILMS LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES


WAGONS ROLL: Peter Cushing, Julie Ege and David Chiang in Hammer Films THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES (1974) LEGEND was the first of two Hammer productions shot back-to-back in Hong Kong in partnership with Shaw Brothers, the other being SHATTER also starring Peter Cushing. LEGEND was the fifth and last time Peter Cushing would play Van Helsing. Because of the practice of 'shooting mute' in Hong Kong, all the soundtrack, music and dialogue was added later in post production. John Forbes Robertson, the actor who played Dracula in Christopher Lee's absence was furious when he discovered that he had been dubbed by another actor.

PETER CUHING : SHANE BRIANT : MADELINE SMITH: FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL : HAMMER FILMS

 
FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL Hammer Films (1972/1974) Peter Cushing, Shane Briant and Madeline Smith. SMITH: 'I look at that film now and wonder who the girl is. With her very dark hair, a bit podgy in the fizzog, nothing like me at all.
 
I remember that Peter was lovely to work with, but I was still rather nervous because he was such a big star. He got on well with Shane, who was as ferocious in his way about what he did as Peter was. It was terrible to see what grief had done to Peter. He was so painfully thin, and it was if the light had gone out of his eyes. He paid no heed to the hoot-and hollerers, and just got quietly on with the business of making our little film'
