mel welles and you might remember him a mr. mushnick in roger corman little shop of horror and direct this somewhat interesting yet wholly twisted tale of dr. frankenstein daughter carry on her father work after his death and create a creature not for it intellectual ability or it likelihood to be or do good but rather for it sex appeal . you see and tania frankenstein and though a doctor and scientist in her own right and be concern with really nothing more than satiate her primal desire for the stable boy and make some super sex slave by use his body with the excellent brain of a man she do not love . the story be tissue thin here and and one get what one might expect represent lot of leer and suggestive comment ( surprisingly most from the female lead ) and special effect that be not so special and act that lack depth of characterization and and not really much action or suspense . and while this film be almost barren in regard to good storytelling and lady frankenstein do oddly have some aspect which make it watchable not highly watchable but watchable nonetheless . italian actress rosalba neri aka sara bay or bey play the baron daughter with some aplomb and lot and lot of sex appeal . she ooze desire and seduction quite well . her performance be pretty one dimensional and but she be quite lovely and play over the top a little too well . she be also very open with her performance if you catch my drift . poor joseph cotten and now regulate to european horror film for money and play the father in a brief yet competent performance . he be the star attraction but go before the film really kick into a gear . a for the rest of the cast and paul muller be somewhat effective a dr. charles marshall and the baron assistant and an admirer of the daughter for some time . a crime and miss person begin to unfold in the village and policeman ( i wasn not buy this ) mickey hargitay start to pump tania for answer despite what you might think not to her satisfaction . where the movie really lose credibility be in the final third of the film where the suspect script and weak performance and and lackluster direction all head further south . the creature be reveal and look quite ridiculous . the film end somewhat abruptly with one of the hasty resolution very common in the 1970s . while not nearly a bad and repulsive a some might want you to think and lady frankenstein be indeed a very flawed film with some perverse albeit intrigue overtone .
