Frankenstein 1970 Quotes:
Baron Victor von Frankenstein:
Shuter, yours is not the brain that I would have chosen, but at least you are obedient.
Baron Victor von Frankenstein:
[Reading from his ancestor's stone memorial marker] "I, Frankenstein, began my work in the year 1740 A.D. with all good intentions and humane thoughts to the high purpose of probing the secrets of life itself with but one end, the betterment of mankind."
[Speaking for himself]
Baron Victor von Frankenstein: So wrote my ancestor, but first he had to learn how flesh is made. He had to discover the art of transplanting vital organs from human beings into his creature and knitting them together until they all had all the attributes of God-inspired birth. Of course, I must admit that perhaps he was not too scrupulous about where he got his raw material.

Although her husband Douglas Row (Donald Barry) has apparently lost interest in wife Judy Stevens (Charlotte Austin) in favor of actress Carolyn Hayes (Jana Lund), Lund was actually 3 months older than Austin.
Dr. Frankenstein's ancestor, who originally began work on the monster in 1740 is referred to as Richard. Previous films usually called him Victor or Henry.
The Breen Office ordered a number of changes in the script and the original cut of the film. One change ordered was the sound of the device Dr. Frankenstein uses to dispose of body parts. The original grinding sound was considered too horrific. It was replaced with the sound of a toilet flush which resulted in unintended laughter in audiences. This was believed to be the first time a toilet flush was heard in a motion picture.
The film was scheduled for 8 shooting days and was completed on time. (1-9-58 to 1-20-58) Boris Karloff worked all 8 days.
Producer Aubrey Schenck had hoped to get the film released by Warner Brothers but had to settle for Allied Artists. Previously, films produced by Schenck's Bel-Air Productions, like The Black Sleep, had been released by United Artists.
