BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE SCREENS FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL MAY 29TH 2013
When Dr Simon Helder is committed to an asylum after being caught
experimenting on stolen cadavers, he finds himself in the company of
fellow re-animator Baron Frankenstein, who is physician there. The two
join forces to continue their research but Helder gradually realises
that a fine line separates the inmates from those apparently in charge.
This was Terence Fisher’s last film and the final instalment in Hammer’s
exploration of the Frankenstein story. Here, Peter Cushing’s Baron
reaches his most degenerate, his gaunt yet distinguished appearance
giving little inkling of the menace just beneath the surface.
"To mark
the centenary of Cushing’s birth, we are showing Hammer’s new
high-definition restoration of his final portrayal of the character that
brought him international fame: Baron Frankenstein. We are delighted to
welcome Madeline Smith, the film’s co-star, and Joyce Broughton,
Cushing’s secretary for 35 years and actor Dave Prowse and host Jonathan Rigby for an extended introduction.. They will also
be promoting the centenary edition of Peter Cushing: The Complete
Memoirs, for which Joyce has written the foreword."
