Trivia
Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy published their original version of the teleplay for this movie, because they were so unhappy with the way it had turned out. The published script differs from the final movie in several ways. They were also unhappy with casting. They had requested that Jon Voight be offered the part of Victor Frankenstein, and their hope that John Boorman would be hired as director was also dashed. See more »Goofs
When Victor is talking to Elizabeth outside the church at his brother's funeral, he is holding his right hand on her shoulder. The shot switches to Elizabeth's face, and his hand is still on her shoulder. In the next wide shot, Victor's hand is down by his side. The following closeup of Elizabeth shows Victor's hand back on her shoulder. See more »Quotes

I rented this movie the other night. I was impressed by how many well known actors were in it. The acting was very good. Leonard Whiting was very convincing and seemed to really share a bond with his monster. The monster didn't seem to be all that evil until people started being mean to it. I think the movie tried to show us that beauty is only skin deep. Jane Seymour was excellent. I recommend this movie highly, it is very well done.
