Yeah. And I recall that attempted rape by Baron Frankenstein. It occurred in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed. Personally, I found it out of character. The Baron always struck me as someone who was very misanthropic, seeing other people as essentially uninteresting and expendable. The idea that he'd go to such lengths out of carnal desire just didn't sit right with me. It was definitely done for shock value and to make the Baron seem even more monstrous. Apparently, Cushing himself wasn't at all happy with that scene. I am not sure if that film, was either his last or one of the last as Baron Frankenstein, and I guess he also wanted a change, instead of keep on getting typecasted, and went over to America, where as Christopher Lee, I believe still did several Hammer movies, up till around the mid 70s, where I think To the Devil a Daughter were one of his last or final performances. He starred in one other Frankenstein movie in 1974. Love his 70s output, including the ones featuring Lee. He did some great Amicus horror anthologies in the early 70s also.
