Well, I enjoy FRANKIE '70. It's got good cinematography, Boris Karloff hamming it up as a scarred mad doc creating a lumbering monster in a far-away castle, secret passageways and a hidden lab, hearts and eyeballs, a "surprise" ending....... for monsterkids, what's not to like?

The movie is a 2:35:1 scope film (which is probably how it will appear on DVD). So I'm not sure about the "TV-ish look".
