1958: Another wildly differing adaptation is the 1958
film Frankenstein 1970, which focuses on the themes of
nuclear power, impotence, and the film industry.
Boris Karloff stars as Dr. Frankenstein, who harvests the
bodies of actors to create a clone of himself using his
nuclear-powered laboratory. His intention is to have
this clone carry on his genes into future generations.
1958: This year also brought the bizarre Frankenstein's
Daughter, in which modern descendant of Frankenstein
Donald Murphy experiments with a Jekyll/Hyde type of
serum before stitching together a grotesque female
creature. John Ashley and Sandra Knight co-starred.
