Since school is out for the "Christmas break" (which is what it was called back when I was in school), KTCA doesn't start broadcasting until the afternoon. Interesting to see a couple of color shows popping up on the schedule.

Movie –
“Father’s Little Dividend”
|
Interesting guests on Channel 4's talk shows today; Robert Merrill, the great American baritone, was a common sight on television from the '50s through the '80s. Not only did he do the Carson show and all kinds of variety shows, he also sang the National Anthem at the New York Yankees home opener. Merill, along with Beverly Sills and Roberta Peters, were so accessible in popular culture. You never see opera stars on TV today, unless they're singing in an opera; of course, there aren't any variety shows for them to appear on, either.

It's difficult to think of The Evil of Frankenstein as a movie that would be shown on network television, what with the reputation of Hammer horror movies. More like MST3K or Svengoolie, perhaps. But a lot of the Hammer movies are fun viewing, and Peter Cushing is usually worth watching, although I think I prefer him in the Dracula movies. Still, NBC?

Movie – “Santa
Fe”
|
"Mr." Richard Blackwell was the fashion expert who made out the "worst-dressed list" every year. If you read the Wikipedia entry I linked to, his years as a youth sound like something out of a horror story. I had forgotten that he had his own television show; he always made for a great guest when he appeared on other talk shows. TV
How did NBC come to show The Evil Of Frankenstein in prime time?
ReplyDeleteHammer Films had a spotty history of distribution in the USA; every movie seemed to come out from a different American company.
In the mid-'60s, Hammer struck a deal with Universal pictures for America, with part of the deal being that Hammer could use Jack Pierce's Frankenstien monster makeup design (MCA held control of the rights, and could be quite litigious about it all).
At about this same time, MCA/Universal and NBC were coming closer together in the corporate sense: NBC got first crack at the theatrical movies for prime time use.
NBC's censors were considered somewhat permissive by the standards of the time, but Hammer's horrors were among the bloodiest in the field, which was actually more problematic than sexuality in those days.
Thus, when Universal and NBC prepared Evil Of Frankenstein (and several other Hammers) for broadcast, they refilmed several scenes in Hollywood using US actors, and replaced some of the gorier British scenes.
When these Hammers were subsequently released for US syndication, they went out with the revised US scenes at first; later on, Hammer got back all rights from MCA, and restored the bloody British originals (and disposed of the USA substitutes).
So it was that The Evil Of Frankenstein, as aired on NBC in 1968, was the expurgated American version.
I don't know if this one is on DVD, but if it is, it's probably the British original, with all the gore intact.
Having been 13 going on 14 when this guide was published, I can assure you that very few people could have predicted what 1968 was going to produce....outside of Nostradamus...
