Not only is “The Curse of Frankenstein” (1957) Peter Cushing’s first leading role, he would go on to play Doctor Frankenstein in 5 more films between 1957 and 1974!

The first film adaptation of “Frankenstein” came in 1910 courtesy of The Edison Company (You can watch that for free here: youtu.be/s2lYKCIAVoI?...) but it wasn’t until 1957’s “The Curse of Frankenstein” for a Frankenstein film to be in full color!
