In 1959, Hammer shot a half-hour pilot episode for a
TV series to be called Tales of Frankenstein, in
association with Columbia Pictures.
Anton Diffring
played the Baron, and Dan McGowan his creation. Curt
Siodmak directed.
The series was scrapped, largely
because of the two companies' disagreement over what the
basic thrust of the series would be.
Hammer wanted to do
a series about Baron Frankenstein involved in various
misadventures, while Columbia wanted a series of science
fiction stories loosely based around the idea of science
gone wrong.
Though unshown at the time of its
production, the episode is available on DVD from several
sources.
