The Posters of Frankenstein : Lady Frankenstein

An Italian poster for Lady Frankenstein, also known as La Figlia di Frankenstein (1971) signed, top left, by L. Crovato, whose poster work, as best I can tell, spans the Seventies and Eighties. His name appears on a number of nicely composed giallo and action film posters, including
5 donne per l’assassino, the 1974 thriller starring Francis (Revenge of Frankenstein) Matthews, and 1970’s Hercules in New York, Arnold Swarzenegger’s first film.

I like the artist’s mix of styles, the prominent, realistic portrait likenesses combined with the highly stylized rendering of the couple in action.

Dr. Frankenstein : Rosalba Neri

Here’s a necessary addition to the Lady Frankenstein post. I originally focused on Joseph Cotten, but here’s the other Dr. Frankenstein from that film: The fabulous Rosalba Neri.

Dr. Frankenstein : Joseph Cotten

"Orson Welles lists Citizen Kane as his best film, Alfred Hitchcock opts for Shadow of a Doubt and Sir Carol Reed chose The Third Man - and I'm in all of them.”

— Joseph Cotten.

As time went on, there weren’t as many choice roles available to the veteran actor. Being a little less particular about the parts he played allowed him to keep working regularly.

In La Figlia di Frankenstein (Frankenstein’s Daughter), released in English as Lady Frankenstein, Joseph Cotten contributed a measure of class, marginal marquee value, and roughly 30 minutes of screen time.

Early on, Cotten, as Baron Frankenstein, is crunched by his goofy-looking, bubble-domed Monster. His daughter steps up and continues his experiments, doffing her clothes along the way. This was to be expected as the role was played by cult-movie bombshell Rosalba Neri (billed in the US as “Sarah Bay”).

Besides Neri, always eminently watchable, and a palpable Hammer Films influence, this one's for unrepentant B-Movie enthusiasts and 70’s Eurosleaze connoiseurs only.

The film is Public Domain and googling will turn up several free download sites. I recommend Video with Bibi’s Lady Frankenstein page.
