I remember what I believe was a Hammer Frankenstein flick, and the image I remember is of a woman covering up the scar connecting her head to her body with a choker, and she was wearing an empire-waist dress at a ball, so it was probably set in the Regency period when the book was written. Any ideas on which movie that might be?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That sounds more like The Bride (1985) with Sting.

Spoiler: There's a famous scene where the monster comes back and kills the Bride of Frankenstein by pulling her head off her body. So the seams at the neck figure prominently. Bride played by Ms. Flashdance herself, Jennifer Beals.

I know I saw it on Saturday afternoon tv in either junior high or high school, so that predates The Bride. Also, I'm pretty sure the woman was a red head.

Spoiler:

I think you may have your Frankenstein's confused there, Hec. The end of the Bride has Jennifer Beals and Clancy Brown heading off together. Sting (as the baron) was the villain of the piece.

I think your thinking of Frankenstein: the True Story which was a TV miniseries in the 70s. The cast included James Mason. It was one of the few versions to end in the arctic, like the book, but it was hardly faithful. Mason was the villain in the movie, a Dr. Polidori, who blackmailed Victor into continuing with his "monster" building.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Trust Frankenbuddha to know his Frankenstein movies.

But does he know his Buddha movies?

I know the movie Tommy.
