One of the single greatest drive-in titles ever dreamed up was FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER. Unfortunately, the film attached to that title was rather more listless than it should've been. There's some good stuff in there, but the overall picture is shockingly bland! Frank is a NASA robot (who looks perfectly human) shot down by invading Martians. His electronic brain damaged, Frank becomes a killing machine and his creators are trying to track him down to repair him. Meanwhile, the Martians are kidnapping beautiful young Earth women to act as breeding stock to save their dying planet (yes, again). Notable bits of casting include James Karen, and Marilyn Hanold in a showy part as the Martian Queen. Again, though, none of this is as exciting as it should be. Such a pity.
