I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Excellent but underrated film
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Beaudine assembled several genre tropes (Frankenstein, the western, the strongmen) to spoof gently a Gothic tale; it's like his '40s gentle comedies, relying upon story as much as upon spoof, aware that a movie needs a storyline, because Beaudine never relied on mere spoof. This quirky western is like an eerie 'Bonanza' episode, endowed with a buxom lady as a runaway physician, a scientist from the Frankenstein family, and in her the spirit of the grandfather has been rekindled, though she ostensibly has more earthly aims, whether declared or not (the story being about her sexual fantasy); Davis looked folksy, but was handsome, he plays the marshal.Narda Onyx and Geray are a funny team; and they don't revive corpses, in the family's tradition, but transplant brains. As a scientist, she seems less dignified than ancestor; and, from reading about the need to wire two brains, she concludes she needs a strongman.For some reason, she believes that her grandfather was a count.Jesse wins fistfight bets using his sidekick, who later falls in love with a peasant girl; she kills him, and Jesse leaves her. So, the storyline may be gloomier, but also more sensible than usual. The plot is boosted by sexual fantasy (Maria's), unrequited loves (the girl's, the sidekick's), and indifference (Jesse's). When Maria courts Jesse, trying to win him, she compares her brother unfavorably . Jesse is the blandest of the characters. Davis gives a straight performance as the marshal.'Jesse ' has an awesome score.The audiences mocked the title, or whatever they felt like, perhaps even when this movie premiered its gentle humor was generally less understood; but there's a subdued, subtle irony in Maria's quips about her being surrounded by peasants (that is, about her story being made as a low-budget western).
So much dialog in this film. So, so much.The plot (such as it is) has the daughter of Victor Frankenstein and her "brother" moving to American Southwest to continue the experiments. There they run across Jesse James and Jesse's friend who was shot during a subplot. She experiments on the burly, dumb friend. Things go to pot.Film has flaky science, random things like Jacob's Ladders running for no reason, a random Native American attack for no reason, bad accents...its a definite case of beer making fun of it film.Drunken Zombie has a commentary for this film. It's in the public domain.
Legendary outlaw of the Old West Jesse James, on the run from Marshal MacPhee, hides out in the castle of Baron Frankenstein's granddaughter Maria, who proceeds to transform Jesse's slow-witted pal Hank into a bald zombie, which she names Igor.This film is generally considered to be pretty awful and has a fairly low rating on IMDb (though I have seen worse ratings). I am not going to dispute this by saying it is a forgotten masterpiece, but really... it may not be as terrible as you might want to believe.The acting is pretty bad and the plot is a bit questionable, but there is something to be said about campy movies. They have their place. And, really, how many horror westerns are there? Not as many as there probably could be. This is a bit of ground breaker.
Loved the title - didn't think much of the film.This snore-fest starts out with the Frankenstein family living in a house in a matte-painting carrying out experiments on the local populace. Maria Frankenstein needs a bigger, 'giant' specimen, which is unlucky for Jesses James' mate Hank, as he is both giant, and has a large vacant slot where his brain should be. This sounds like a great set-up, and it is...but after about twenty minutes the film settles in front of the telly with a cup of tea and does nothing until the last ten minutes.Unless something happened during my mid-film coma as I'm prone to having, there's just a lot of riding around on horses, double-crossing, and Hank looking ridiculous as the monster. Could someone tell me how he retains his memory if his entire brain has been replaced? Makes no sense, and neither does the genealogy of the Frankenstein family, nor Juanita's family's whereabouts, as they disappear from the film halfway through.Give this one a miss - it's not even got much in the way of camp value or laughs.
