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'
