...despised by human society, becomes a sex symbol. Peter Boyle, as the monster, has eyes that say everything. Madeline Kahn is so luscious in the role of the fiancee that she seems even sexier with two vertical white streaks in her hair as the Bride. The lab assistant, Teri Garr, is cute and makes the most of inevitably dumb lines...

He is quickly seduced, though, by the siren call of Victor's madness and is soon trying to reproduce the experiments. He is aided by a shapely but vacant assistant called Inga (Teri Garr) and by the stainless-steel housekeeper Frau Blucher, played by Cloris Leachman, who does a skillful and witty parody on the Judith Anderson role in Hitchcock's Rebecca...

Thanks to his blazing speed -home to first in three seconds flat -Garr is already established as one of the best "leg hitters" in the majors. Although not yet an accomplished big-league base stealer (he has been thrown out seven times in 18 attempts), he is enough of a threat that whenever he comes to the plate or reaches base, Atlanta fans...
