From Hammer<\/p>
<\/p>
19th century Switzerland!\u00a0<\/p>
<\/p>
On the eve of his execution for the murder of his maid, Baron Victor Frankenstein confesses his story to a visiting priest.<\/p>
<\/p>
As an orphaned teenager the Baron engages scientist Paul Krempe to tutor him and they begin collaborating on scientific experiments. After successfully bringing a dead puppy back to life, Victor suggests that they create a perfect human being from body parts. Paul assists Victor at first but eventually withdraws, unable to tolerate the continued scavenging of human remains, particularly after Victor's fianc\u00e9e \/ cousin comes to live with them.<\/p>
<\/p>
Peter Cushing, who was then best known for his roles in British television, had his first lead part in a movie with this film. Meanwhile, Christopher Lee's casting resulted largely from his height (6' 5\"), though Hammer had earlier considered the even taller (6 '7\") Bernard Bresslaw for the role.\u00a0<\/p>
<\/p>
The Curse of Frankenstein premiered in London on 2 May 1957 and was a monstrous success, grossing more than 70 times its production cost during its original theatrical run.<\/p>
