I Was A Teenage Frankenstein

Best line: "You have a civil tongue in your head.I sewed it in myself" This is top of the line 1950's B movie schlock.And it is wonderful.Countless tv viewings and a recent VHS viewing confirms this.

Prof Frankenstein(Whit Bissel)is visiting from England on a lecture tour.He wants to create a perfect body from a youth.As it so happens there is a terrible auto accident outside which allows him to grab a corpse.Some guys have all the luck.

Of course there is the hesitant assistant to deal with. There is also the nosy just moved in fiancee to contend with. Frankenstein manages to put together a body but it has a severe case of morning face.The boy disobeys his creator and goes out for a stroll. He also kills a blonde and creates a panic.

Well the pesky bride to be stumbles upon the "monster" which angers the mad doctor to no end. He convinces the boy that she wants to kill him. So our boy kills her and she is dumped in the lligator pit(I'm not making this up).The pit is used to dispose of spare parts by the way.

Now I have never ever been able to rent (or buy) a house that has an indoor alligator pit.Trust me, I have looked.I want one.It would be a great selling point as a tool to get rid of salesmen, politicians stumping for votes and that $#@%^$g kid next door playing rap records too loudly.

Anyway, the monster needs a nice face(does he ever)so he and the doctor go out in search of one.Happily they locate one and it is grafted on.Everybody is all smiles now.In fact, the kid can't stay away from a mirror for more than 10 seconds.

The doctor and his assistant prepare to go to England. The boy has no passport so they plan to dissect him for easier international travel.The rousing finish is in color.

Whit Bissel gives a great performance as the cracked to the max mad doctor.

Defintely worth watching.DVD anybody?
