 Flesh for Frankenstein: Criterion Collection on DVD - MovieWeb
Filmed in the famous Cinecitta by a crew of Italian master filmmakers, FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN is suffused with the crumbling glamour of old Italian films, paying homage to (while simultaneously parodying) the earnest and stark visual and psychological beauty of the old horror films on which it is based.
Frankenstein (played straightfaced and earnestly deadpanned by Kier) pieces together male and female monsters, eventually lacking only the perfect "Serbian nasum." Frankenstein lives in false marital bliss with his detached and malcontent wife-sister and two sinister children, who perpetually peek in on the forbidden experiments of Frankenstein and the equally forbidden sexual liaisons of Mme.
With Andy Warhol lending his name as "producer," longtime filmmaking associate Paul Morrissey (FLESH, TRASH, HEAT) turned in the first of two uncompromisingly idiosyncratic convention-shattering interpretations of classic horror tales starring the suitably demented Udo Kier, who was previously unknown to American audiences.

When he talks with Frankenstein, he is very articulate in his arguments, and both Frankenstein and the ship captain the creature meets at the end of the novel comment on his persuasiveness.

His alignment is a tricky issue, for me. Remember he also killed Frankenstein's wife so that he could have a mate made for him, which doesn't strike me as a particularly good act.
The monster prefers to observe people for days before interaction, however when in a straight up fight the Monster simply uses his brute strength to destroy what ever stands in his way, inless a better plan can be used.
Personally I disagree with the creature type, instead basing the monster of an incarnate flesh golem, but it is quite well done.

 Schwartz - A Happening Thing
Victor Frankenstein's creation is monstrous in part because, thinks Victor, the transformative act has gone awry, and dead flesh has been given life without soul.
Most contemporary literary and cinematic fictions about automata, however, draw upon Mary Shelley's Frankenstein of 1818, a story which is all about transformation and expulsion.
I know of no recent automata, and certainly none on public view, that proceed through each of the digestive motions and offer up, at the end, a wet turd.

In context to proceeding events in the film, the barn is where “the spirit” of Frankenstein becomes flesh and blood when the fugitive jumps of the train and chooses this place to hide out.
The first image is generated from the actual film “Frankenstein”, while the second one is the hallucination that the young girl Ana sees in the lake.
Finally, there comes a point in the film in which Ana no longer turns to her sister and her trickery, and therefore turns inward towards her own imagination.

 The Austin Chronicle: Screens: Body of Work
And then, of course, there's Dallesandro, he of the Andy Warhol/Paul Morrissey films Flesh, Trash, Heat, Flesh for Frankenstein, and Blood for Dracula (among others); "Little Joe" of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side"; beefcake icon; and all-around merchant of menace.
Possessed of a serenely decrepit mise-en-scène of weathered and flyblown locations that positively cry out for the insertion of doomed, damned love, this lyrical epithet of a film plays like a sex-mad Shakespeare on Sergio Leone's dime.
Stalking through the film like a rippling gay golem with a hard-on for trouble, he deftly holds his own against the rapturously gamine Birkin and even a young Gérard Depardieu, who appears briefly, but oh-so-memorably, as the "Man on Horse." You do the myth.

Udo Kier was asked by Paul Morrissey to lose 15 kilos for the part of Dracula.
The sex and violence are tinged with ironic humor as Kier goes from one daughter to the next, desperate for the virgin blood he needs to save his life.

While the Transylvanian town watches his travails with many a wary and scornful eye, Dr. Frankenstein (that's Fronk - en - shteen to you) succeeds in turning the flesh of the dead into a living, breathing creature of familiar proportions and distortions.

 Flesh For Frankenstein - Paul Morrissey - Udo Kier - Joe Dallasandro
For a number of factors, Flesh for Frankenstein went dramatically over-budget, with the result that major changes were made to the way that its follow-up, Blood for Dracula, was to be produced, including the abandonment of 3-D and a much tighter scriptwriting process along with greater reliance on pre-production planning.
Flesh for Frankenstein is also the title of a hard-core porn film made in 1987 by Ron Jeremy.

But Rachel Roberts, who plays the title character in "Simone," can finally tell the world she's a flesh-and-blood star, not a pixellated performer stitched together by some cyber-Frankenstein.
Roberts sneaked onto the set in wigs and other disguises and was known as "the stand-in" for Simone to much of the film crew, who thought she would be replaced in post-production by a digital actress.
After "Simone" leaves theaters, Roberts' name will be added to the credits when the film comes out on video, "so I'll be able to prove it was really me for posterity's sake," she said.

For his epic shocker of caged women gone wild, legendary director Jess Franco (EUGENIE, SADOMANIA) brought together a once-in-a-lifetime cast of International beauties including Maria Schell (THE ODESSA FILE), Luciana Paluzzi (THUNDERBALL), Rosalba Neri (LADY FRANKENSTEIN) and Maria Rohm (VENUS IN FURS).
