Frankenstein Created Woman opens in the U.S. in 1967. The fourth in Hammer’s Frankenstein franchise opens in the U.S. three months before it opens in the U.K. Directed by Terence Fisher and starring Peter Cushing, the film picks up some some of the storyline and metaphysical theme of the novel. The film receives mixed reviews and box office support but has grown in reputation.
