Frankenstein? Not Quite...

Frankenstein Meets th Space Monster (1965)
Director- Robert Gaffney
Starring- Marilyn Hanold, Robert Reilly, James Karen

Martian Princess Marcuzan needs to repopulate her people after atomic warfare destroys Mars' culture (where were we when this happened?!), so she turns to earth. She apparently didn't count on the U.S.-built cyborg named Frank to intervene, though he normally would be utilized for space exploration.
There is oddly enough no Frankenstein, Frankenstein's monster, or Al Franken in this Puerto Rican sci fi flick. I'm frankensteinly surprised there was a space monster to speak of. It's from Mars, and they can't really control it. It'd be like if Earth had a giant Tyrannosaurus rex to fight for us--it's great to have until it has to go back in its pet carrier.
Okay effort, annoyed at the abrupt Frankending.
Rating: 3/5 Bonedaddies.
