Peter Cushing is excellent here, although the Baron is a true Son of a Bitch in FMBD. Trying once again to prove his theories, he finds a collaborator has gone mad and with the aid of a Young couple He is blackmailing, attempts smuggle him out of the asylum and the normal SNAFU'S begin. Good support by Freddie Jones, Simon Ward and lovely Veronica Carlson, , who is so vulnerable here. The unneeded scene where Frankenstein rapes her just increases the pity. From what I've heard, news came from higher up that the picture needed more sex (??????) and Peter, Veronica and Director Terence Fisher absolutely HATED filming this. It comes midway through the story, but was filmed towards shooting's end and there is no change in Her demeanor. Or else She and her boyfriend have had so much degradation from working with Frankenstein, that this is just one more cross to bear. One of the better FRANK films with a pretty good cast, although Thorley Walter's "Comic relief" is anything but. ****

Peter Cushing plays evil so well!
