Frankenstein is a 1973 television film that explores the narrative of a scientist obsessed with the creation of life. Directed by Jack Smight, the production features a cast including James Mason, Leonard Whiting, David McCallum, and Jane Seymour. The plot follows a brilliant but unorthodox scientist named Dr. Victor Frankenstein who steals body parts to assemble his creation. After Dr. Frankenstein rejects the artificial man he has brought to life, the creature escapes and eventually swears revenge against his creator. Although the project was eventually released as a feature on video, it was originally broadcast in two separate installments on television as part of the Wide World of Entertainment series. The film is classified within the horror and science fiction genres and has a total runtime of three hours. It premiered in the United States on January 16, 1973. The story draws from the thematic foundations established in the 1818 Gothic novel written by Mary Shelley, which centers on the consequences of a scientist attempting to play the role of a creator.
