In the film, Victor Frankenstein retires to his castle with his new wife. But both Frankenstein's monster and Frankenstein's assistant are sexually attracted to Victor's wife.

Plot

[edit]

Dr. Victor Frankenstein creates a monster to show his scientific theories, but soon leaves him. So the scientist tries to rebuild his life by getting married with Janet, and retires to his castle with Igor. However, the monster comes back to haunt Frankenstein, and soon Victor finds out that the monster has a ferocious sexual attraction to Janet. Frankenstein then calls Igor to readjust the monster, but Igor also takes advantage of Janet...

Production

[edit]

Frankenstein all'italiana – Prendimi, straziami, che brucio de passion! is the eighth and final film directed by Armando Crispino.[5] The film entered development under the title Frankenstein diventa nonno (lit. 'Frankenstein Becomes Grandpa').[5]

It was shot in Bomarzo and at R.P.A. Elios Studios in Rome.[1] Crispino later described the film as "a compromise dictated by necessity, if not a mistake. It's the only one of my films that was born from a script in which I did not take part at all...However I think I can say that the movie was not completely shameful, at least in the first part." [6]

Release

[edit]

Frankenstein all'italiana – Prendimi, straziami, che brucio de passion! was released in Italy where it was distributed by Euro International Film on 23 November 1975.[1] This release was very brief and was immediately withdrawn.[6] It was re-edited and re-released in mid-1976 with the title Prendimi straziami, che brucio di passion!.[6] It was later released to Italian television as Stringimi forte che burcio di passione.[1][5]
