Quotes from
Baron Victor von Frankenstein:
[Reading from his ancestor's stone memorial marker] "I, Frankenstein, began my work in the year 1740 A.D. with all good intentions and humane thoughts to the high purpose of probing the secrets of life itself with but one end, the betterment of mankind."
[Speaking for himself]
Baron Victor von Frankenstein: So wrote my ancestor, but first he had to learn how flesh is made. He had to discover the art of transplanting vital organs from human beings into his creature and knitting them together until they all had all the attributes of God-inspired birth. Of course, I must admit that perhaps he was not too scrupulous about where he got his raw material.
Douglas Row: Jealousy, jealousy, lover! Don't blame me because you're no longer an ingenue.
Judy Stevens: That's not exactly what you said when you married me.
Douglas Row: Well, I keep you on the payroll. i'm loyal.
Judy Stevens: Oh, yes, you're loyal to wives 1 through 4 inclusive.
[Indicating beautiful actress Judy Stevens]
Judy Stevens: Would you care to try your luck with 5?
Carolyn Hayes: Organ music always makes me think of death!

Facts about
Chicago talk show host Tom Duggan had a part in the film and invited Charlotte Austin and Don 'Red' Barry on his show to give the film a publicity boost. Unfortunately, both actors had a few drinks prior to going on camera and proceeded to belittle the film's quality, much to Duggan's chagrin.
This film was originally going to be entitled "Frankenstein 1960" but it didn't sound futuristic enough. It was also thought to be too far fetched that an independent researcher could obtain his own atomic reactor in 1960.
The Breen Office ordered a number of changes in the script and the original cut of the film. One change ordered was the sound of the device Dr. Frankenstein uses to dispose of body parts. The original grinding sound was considered too horrific. It was replaced with the sound of a toilet flush which resulted in unintended laughter in audiences. This was believed to be the first time a toilet flush was heard in a motion picture.
