Anecdotes
The Breen Office ordered a number of changes in both the film's script and its original cut. One of the changes that was ordered was of the sound of the device that Baron Victor von Frankenstein used to dispose of the body parts that he was using to create his monster. The original grinding sound that the device made while doing so was considered too horrific, so it was replaced with the sound of a flushing toilet, which resulted in unintended laughter from audiences. This was believed for a long time to be the first time ever that the sound of a flushing toilet was heard in a U.S. film. UPDATE: A toilet was also flushed in the film Les Raisins de la colère (1940), which was released 18 years before this one.

Gaffes
The degree of the damage that was done to Baron Victor von Frankenstein's injured left eye changes from scene to scene throughout the entire film.

Citations
Baron Victor von Frankenstein: [reading from his ancestor's stone memorial marker] "I, Frankenstein, began my work in the year 1740 A.D. with all good intentions and humane thoughts to the high purpose of probing the secrets of life itself with but one end, the betterment of mankind."
[speaking for himself]
Baron Victor von Frankenstein: So wrote my ancestor, but first he had to learn how flesh is made. He had to discover the art of transplanting vital organs from human beings into his creature and knitting them together until they all had all the attributes of God-inspired birth. Of course, I must admit that perhaps he was not too scrupulous about where he got his raw material.

Taken for what it is, this B-Grade 50's horror schlock-fest ain't too bad!

Nostalgic for me in many ways. I managed to sneak into the theater in my home-town in '58 (it was an "X" certificate then) to watch it. Karloff was an old "relic" even then!!! I remember thinking just how futuristic 1970 seemed. Believe it or not, people were talking planetary COLONISATION by the 70's, back in those days. (Actually, what the hell HAS happened the last three decades?)

Anyway back to the plot - there ISN'T one! Karloff shambles around his old shadowy and fog-machine driven castle occasionally doing the Dr Phibes bit on his organ. The monster is a cack-fest and everyone should be having a good time.

Ok Ok, sad in a way to see Karloff basically sending up his own classic role, but hey its STILL Boris Karloff!

In MY mind though, I still see a 13 year old boy staring up in wonder at a big screen with an evil monster on the loose. It was fun, it was THEN......best tribute you can pay it now is to just enjoy it for what it is/was.
