Title: Karloff's Cinematic Wasteland
Product review: From a celluloid perspective, the 1950s were a terrible decade for Boris Karloff. Though he blazed new trails on television and stage, the Hollywood studios could not provide a memorable vehicle for this truly great actor. "Frankenstein 1970" (1958) represented the worst of a largely forgotten lot. Portraying an atomic-age, Nazi-scarred version of Baron Frankenstein was an opportunity Karloff should have avoided. The only interesting aspect is the bizarre "twist" ending - if you can wait that long. Happily, the 1960s would provide more rewarding film roles for Karloff, culminating in his masterful triumph as Byron Orlok in "Targets."
