A medieval scholar, (Burton), summons Mephistopheles, (Teuber), and offers him his soul for worldly knowledge and a life of voluptuousness with a woman, (Taylor).
Despite the good performances from a mostly amateur Oxford cast, this uninspired version of the famous myth tries hard to appeal to the intelligensia, but comes off as just being badly made.
Filmed in Rome.

DOCTOR FRANKENSTEIN (1973/Universal/MCA.) 240mins. TVM.
Aka: FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY.
Credits: Dir: Jack Smight; Prod: Hunt Stromberg Jnr.; A.Prod: Ian Lewis; Sc: Christopher Isherwood & Don Bachardy; Ph: Arthur Ibbetson; Ed: Richard Marden; Des: Wifred Shingleton; Sfx: Roy Whybrow; Mu: Roy Ashton; Art: Fred Carter; Mus: Gil Melle.
Cast: James Mason, David McCallum, Michael Sarrazin, Leonard Whiting, Jane Seymour, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, Tom Baker, Agnes Moorehead, Dallas Adams, Nicola Paget, Clarissa Kay, Michael Wilding, Margaret Leighton.
Medical student Victor Frankenstein, (Whiting), is stealing body parts to try and construct and breathe life into a man he has created. Encouraged and partially financed by Doctor Polidori, (Mason), the monster becomes an instrument for Polidori's own unpleasant purposes. The creature, (Sarrazin), is built remarkably well, but the quick degeneration of the parts causes much concern. Polidori is finally destroyed and the now completely degenerating monster is left on an ice floe in the Arctic Circle
Originally made for television and shown on the small screen in two parts. In Britain it was edited to feature length and released theatrically as FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY, but unfortunately many of the scenes seem disjointed.

DOCTOR GOLDFOOT AND THE BIKINI MACHINE (1965/AIP.) 90mins. US.

Cast: Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Fred Clark, Susan Hart, Juck Mullaney, Annette Funicello, Harvey Lembeck, Deborah Walley.
A mad scientist, (Price), hatches a scheme to fleece wealthy men of their money by creating an army of bikini clad female robots. Some of his victims find themselves in the scientist's torture chamber equipped with a rack, a spiked wheel and an iron maiden. Agents Craig Gamble, (Avalon), and Todd Armstrong, (Hickman), investigate.
A parody of American International's own cycle of teenage orientated films, which were mostly spoofs in themselves and therefore this end result is a poor farce with many scenes trying hard to be amusing.

DOCTOR GOLDFOOT AND THE GIRL BOMBS (1966/AIP.) 86mins. US/Italy.
Sequel to: Doctor Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine.
Aka: I DUE MAFIOSI DELL FBI.; LE SPIE VENGONA DAL SEMIFREDDO.

"Meet the girls with the thermo-nuclear! The most titillating timebombs you've ever been tempted to trigger!"
Doctor Goldfoot, (Price), is now working for the Red Chinese making beautiful girls that explode on contact to try and cause a rift between America and Russia.
Ridiculous. Mario Bava's and Fabian's worst film.
Filmed in Italy.

Cast: Jack Palance, Leo Glenn, Oscar Homolka, Billie Whitelaw, Denholm Elliott, Torin Thatcher, Duncan Lamont, Rex Sevenoaks, Tessie O'Shea, Gillie Fenwick, Jeanette Landis, Liz Cole, Liza Creighton, Paul Harding, Donald Webster.
A satisfying, but unmemorable televesion studio version of the famous tale. Palance was unique in the role of the unfortunate doctor in that he needed make up to portray kindly Dr. Jekyll and not Mr. Hyde.
Originally broadcast as a two part special.
Filmed in London.

"The sting's in the tale!"
Doctor Phibes, (Price), rejuvenates himself by automatically replacing the embalming fluid in his veins with fresh blood and embarks for Egypt where he establishes his home in the mountains with his Wurlitzer and mechanical band, awaiting the rise of the River of Life that will bring his beloved dead wife, (Munro), back to life. Others are awaiting the same river, but only Phibes possesses the key necessary to pass through the sacred gates. All those who attempt to obtain it are murdered in a variety of gruesome ways.
Slightly more camp than the original, but equally as entertaining and effective.

The kindly village vicar, (McGoohan), of Dymchurch is in fact a notorious pirate involved with smuggling while disguised as "The Scarecrow" who outwits a general and rescues a prisoner from Dover castle.
An agreeable remake of 1937's Dr. Syn with a good performance by McGoohan.
Originally shown in three parts as a Disney television programme titled "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh".

Doctor Who, (Cushing), and his companions are transported by the Tardis time machine and arrive on a ravaged planet ruled by the cruel and ruthless Daleks. The Doctor and his friends help the native Thals to vanquish their alien rulers.

Alas both the woman and her offspring die, so the promotor, not losing sight of a fast buck, mummifies their bodies for display.
Reputedly based on the true story of a 19th. century Mexican woman named Julie Pastrana. A French version of the same tale is not as depressing.

DONOVAN'S BRAIN (1953/Dowling Productions/UA.) 83mins. BW. US.

Despite the good lead performance, this is a slow moving second adaptation of the famous book.

DOOMWATCH (1972/Tigon) 92mins. UK
Credits: Dir: Colin Grimes (Peter Sasdy); Prod: Tony Tenser; Sc: Clive Exton; Ph: Kenneth Talbot; Ed: Keith Palmer; Art: Colin Grimes; Mus: John Scott. From a story by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis, based on the BBC. television series.

DRACULA (1973/Curtis/CBS.) 94mins. TVM. UK/US. Aka: BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA.
Credits: Dir. & Prod: Dan Curtis; A.Prod: Robert Singer; Sc: Richard Matheson; Ph: Oswald Morris; Ed: Richard A. Harris; Des: Trevor Williams; Sfx: Kit West; Mu: Paul Rabinger; Mus: Robert Corbert. Based on the novel by Bram Stoker.
Cast: Jack Palance, Simon Ward, Nigel Davenport, Penelope Horner, Virginia Wetherell, Fiona Lewis, Pamela Brown, Fred Stone, Murray Brown, Sarah Douglas, Gita Denise, Barbara Lindle, George Pravda, Hanna Maria Pravda; Reg Lye, Sandra Caron.
Dracula, (Palance), moves to Carfax Abbey and begins a reign of vampiric terror when his vampire bride is destroyed. Dracula falls in love with a local girl who is the likeness of his lost bride.
The quality of this television production is unusually good and predates Coppola's link with Vlad the Impaler and his age old lost love. Palance is sufficiently creepy while bringing a sympathetic interpretation to the character. The sets are good and there is plenty of atmosphere.
Filmed in Britain and Yugoslavia, this was released to cinemas in Europe. The original American television premiere was delayed by a speech from president Nixon announcing the resignation of vice-president Spiro Agnew.

DRACULA AD. '72 (1972/Hammer/Warner) 95mins. UK.

Songs: "Alligator Man" & "You Better Come Through" by Tim Barnes. Performed by: Stoneground. Based on the character created by Bram Stoker.
Cast: Christopher Lee, Christopher Neame, Peter Cushing, Stephanie Beacham, Caroline Munro, Marsha Hunt, Philip Miller, Michael Coles, William Ellis, Michael Kitchen, Janet Key, Lally Bowers, David Andrews.
"The Count is back, with an eye for London's hot pants, and a taste for everything!"
In 1872 Count Dracula, (Lee), is destroyed by Van Helsing, (Cushing), with the spoke of a wagon wheel. In Chelsea during 1972, Van Helsing's descendant, (Cushing), is forced to accept the old legends when a group of teenagers raise Dracula from the dead under the direction of Johnny Alucard, (Neame). One by one the teens fall prey to the vampire until Van Helsing manages to save his daughter and kill the Count.
An extremely dated "swinging '70's" film with equally dated dialogue and dress. The best part of the film is the prologue set in 1872.
HORRORRITUAL, a three minute comedy short was made to accompany the film's American release.
Sequel: THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA (1973).

DRACULA CONTRA EL DOCTOR FRANKENSTEIN (1972/Interfilme/Fenix Films/Prodif) 90mins. Spain/France.
Aka: THE SCREAMING DEAD (US); DRACULA, PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN; DRACULA, LE PRISONNER DE RANKENSTEIN.
Credits: Dir: Jess Franco; Sc: Jess Franco & Paul D'Ales; Ph: Jose Climent; Ed: R. Aventer; Mu: Elisa Villeneuve; Mus: Bruno Nicolai. English version: Dir: Richard McNamara.
Cast: Dennis Price, Howard Vernon (Mario Lippert), Albert D'Albes, Britt Nickols, Genevieve Deloir, Josiane Gibert, Eduarda Pimenta, Fernando Bilbao, Mary Francis, Luis Barboo.
Dr. Frankenstein, (Price), and his mute servant Morpho, (Barboo), bring Dracula, (Vernon), and a monster, (Bilbao), to life to help him summon all the souls he needs to form an army of vampires under his control. He thinks that only Dr. Seward, a noted vampire hunter, stands in his way, but a werewolf arrives and destroys the vampires and the monster.
The incessant movement of the camera, the lack of dialogue and the annoying narrator makes this impossible to follow. The fault may lie in the clumsy editing of the original to create the English version, but to replace a whole script with a single narrator is downright foolish. Acting awards only go to the rubber bat.
Price's voice was dubbed over by a younger actor.

DRACULA EN DE WEREWOLF (1968) see La Marca del Hombre Lobo

Cast: Christopher Lee, Barrie Andrews, Veronica Carlson, Rupert Davies, Barbara Ewing, Ewan Hooper, Norman Bacon, Marion Mathie, George A. Cooper, John D. Collins, Michael Ripper.
"You just can't keep a good man down!"
A priest, (Hooper), of faltering faith in the Transylvanian village of Keinenburg is visited by the parish bishop, (Davies), and chastised for his lack of leadership. Together they climb the mountain to Dracula's castle to prove to the villagers that there is no danger from the fiend and the bishop places a large bronze cross on the castle doors. When the timid priest accidentally cuts his head on some ice in which Dracula, (Lee), is buried, the vampire Count rises, makes a slave of the priest, and embarks on an orgy of vengeance against the bishop and his niece, (Carlson). Eventually Dracula is impaled on the bronze cross when he falls from his castle battlements.
A stylish adaptation in which Lee endows his character with a subtle evil malignance. A strong religious overtone implies that faith is as important as stakes and garlic when combating vampires.
The death of Dracula on the cross is probably the most effective ending of the Hammer Dracula series.
Sequel: Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970).

When four English travellers arrive in Transylvania they are warned to stay away from the castle in the next village, but circumstances force them to arrive at Castle Dracula where they are surprised to find that rooms have already been prepared and their meals are awaiting them.That night, however, the sinister butler named Klove abducts one of the men, (Tingwell), and uses his blood to revive the Count, (Lee). The remaining travelers enlist the help of a monk named Sandor, (Keir), when they suspect the truth, who arrives at the castle to face the Count now standing on a frozen moat. Sandor shoots his rifle at the ice, causing it to break and send Dracula into the running water to his doom.
A stylish sequel to Hammer's Dracula (1958) using the same sets as Rasputin-the Mad Monk and heightened by Kier's strong performance as Father Sandor.
When this was double billed with The Plague of the Zombies male cinema patrons were issued with plastic fangs, while the women were given "zombie eyes".
