#ThrowbackThursday:
A rare peep onto the set of Hammer films, 'Frankenstein Created Woman'
at Bray studios, with Peter Cushing and Peter Madden all set for the
camera to roll. Those you who know the film, will also know this scene
is one of Cushing's Hammer Frankenstein vocal repore highlights, where
his dialogue in the dock, shows how the Baron could, if needed, reduce
authority figures into a bumbling half-wits. We would see it again,to
jaw drop and marvelous effect in Cushimg and Hammer's next Frankenstein
film, 'Must Be Destroyed', where his sharp tongue would 'slap the pomp
and stupid' out of a party of toffs and top hatters 😉
Peter Madden would also appear, sadly briefly, in the last Hammer
Cushing Frankenstein film, 'Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell' in
1974.
#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: January 11th 1971. An on set, off camera rare photograph of Peter Cushing as Professor Julian Fuchs and Valerie Leon as daughter Margaret Fuchs , during Peter Cushing's one day of shooting on the Hammer films, 'Blood From The Mummy's Tomb'. Sadly, it was a set and role to which Cushing would never return, Helen Cushing, Peter's wife was taken ill on this day and died shortly after, on January 14th 1971. Actor Andrew Keir would step into the role, just three days later. Cushing would return to work and Hammer films two months later, with the role of Gustav Weil in 'TWINS OF EVIL'.
