Flesh for Frankenstein (1974)

Flesh for Frankenstein (1974, USA/ITA/FRA) C-89m. SCOPE ** D: Paul Morrissey, Antonio Margheriti. Starring Joe Dallesandro, Monique van Vooren, Udo Kier, Arno Juerging, Dalila Di Lazzaro, Srdjan Zelenovic, Nicoletta Elmi. Producer Andy Warhol's take on the Frankenstein myth is ponderous, awfully slow. Baron Kier attempts to create a man and a woman who should produce offspring. If you don't fall asleep, you might savor the melancholy score (by Claudio Gizzi), and Luigi Kuveiller's cinematography. Otherwise, this is heavy-handed. Carlo Ponti coproduced, effects by Carlo Rambaldi. Ubaldo Terzano (one of Mario Bava's regular collaborators) is credited as camera operator. Originally filmed in 3-D. Uncut print runs 95m. Filmed back-to-back with BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974). Also known as ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN, THE DEVIL AND DR. FRANKENSTEIN, THE FRAKNENSTEIN EXPERIMENT, and simply FRANKENSTEIN.
