Lady Frankenstein is an early-1970s spaghetti horror flick that's all about what happens when you let ladies into the lab. They build the ultimate love machines, combining their favorite male brains with their favorite male bodies. At least that's what Tania, Dr. Frankenstein's daughter, does. She returns home from medical school only to see papa murdered by his monster. Then she falls for this old dude, whose brain is great but whose body isn't as young and bouncy as she'd like. In fact, she'd rather make it with this hot retarded guy who works as their servant. So she hits on a brilliant idea: Why not continue dad's work by killing brain guy and body guy, then combining the best of both? In this scene, we see her raising the brain-transplanted dead and then . . . feeling up the undead. Ladies in the lab make for way better mad science, don't you think? [Lady Frankenstein]

1. Is that Princess Leia?
2. How does this film/relationship end? I'm envisioning something domestic...in the suburbs...tv dinner trays and Lawrence Welk (you know, something truly horrifying).
Or is it just a killing rampage?
@Dr. Futurity: I'm afraid it ends with sex and strangulation. Also, there are some angry villagers.
He looks like Kurtz
"The horror...."
If I may, I recommend "Double Feature" as a pretty good sci-fi/ adult movie with the very same story. At least the second half of the movie is this. The first half is about aliens taking over the world. Not that it needs said, but not for viewing with your kids...
Why does it always end with sex and strangulation?
Oh dear...I've said too much.
@Annalee Newitz:
Oh why do the villagers alway have to get involved? Damn nosy villagers...
Like this poor womand and the twice dead man monster she personally re-animated is such an affront to their intuition of marriage and their god that...
oh wait nevermind twice dead monster-man.. yep that is an affront...
@Annalee Newitz:
Sex and strangulation,huh? Sounds like my kind of party.
Ha!...
Women.
Can't live with 'em...Can't turn your back on 'em when they're wielding a scalpel...
So, that's the handsome handyman's body? What did the old man look like, the cryptkeeper? So confused by women's taste.
Love this movie. Not as over the top fun as Warhol/Morrissey's, but a taste treat nonetheless.
See, I could kill this film idea by just giving the old, wise, man a prescription to Cialis. Then she could be "satisified"...
