Directed by Ridley Scott and adapted from Sara Gay Forden’s nonfiction book, the film features a screenplay by Becky Johnston and Roberto Bentivegna. Directed by Lewis Gilbert, the film features production design by Ken Adam, whose supertanker and submarine sets required large-scale stage construction. John Barry composed the score, and the production features practical car and boat chases, including a corkscrew car jump executed as an in-camera stunt. The principal cast includes Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Rita Moreno, and George Chakiris, with vocal dubbing used for several leads. Colin Clive plays Henry Frankenstein, Boris Karloff portrays the Monster, and the cast includes Mae Clarke, John Boles, and Dwight Frye.
