  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

  • “Frankenstein Created Woman” (1966) by Dr
    Short Review: “Frankenstein Created Woman” (1966) by Dr. John L. Flynn Frankenstein Created Woman (1966). Hammer Films/Great Britain, 86 min. Director: Terence Fisher. Producer: Anthony Nelson Keyes. Screenwriter: John Elder (Anthony Hinds). Cast: Peter Cushing, Susan Denberg, Thorley Walters, Robert Morris, Duncan Lamont, Peter Blythe, Alan McNaughton, Peter Madden, and Derek Fowlds. Baron Frankenstein (Cushing) and his monster were resurrected by Hammer for a fourth time in this installment that finds the mad doctor determined to endow his new creation with a soul. When a young man (Morris) wrongly accused of murder is sent to the guillotine, and his crippled lover, Christina (Playboy centerfold Denberg), grief-stricken with his death, drowns herself in the river, Frankenstein fuses the young man's soul with the woman’s shapely, bikini-clad body. But before he can share his research with the world, the Creature sets off to avenge the two young people's deaths. With the body of a woman and the soul of a man, the monster first seduces, then gruesomely kills those responsible. In the end, faced with tremendous guilt, the Creature throws itself into the river, while Frankenstein watches helplessly, unable to save it from drowning. Sexy and very erotic, this was one of Hammer Films most successful later projects. Denberg is stunning as the Baron’s new creation, and well worth the price of admission. The film was followed three years later by “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed!” Copyright 2014 by John L. Flynn, Ph.D. .
