Storyline:The intriguing, over-wrought film is a tragic, coming-of-age melodrama from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright William Inge""s original screenplay - it was Inge""s first story written directly for the screen and he received a nomination (and the film""s sole Oscar) for the Best Original Story and Screenplay for his work (one of the film""s two Academy Award nominations)." With a proclamation of peace, she rejects calls for more violence and decrees that the bloody war will end:There are other things to live for than wars.He roared out of the operation tank with his new adamantium claws, and fought his way naked out of the facility, invincible to bullets.It was a socio-economic drama based on theCinderellastory, but actually taken from Ovid""s Greek myth of Pygmalion - about a sculptor who fell in love with Galatea, a marble-ivory statue of his own making.[Note: Her character was a strong parody of housekeeper Mrs.Danvers (Judith Anderson) in Alfred Hitchcock""sRebecca (1940).] The forbidding woman introduced herself:I am Frau Blucher.Thunder and lightning crackled, and the terrified horses reared up and loudly neighed and whinnied.Igor steadied the frightened animals.As Dr.Frankenstein introduced Inga to Frau Blucher, the error-stricken horses once again whinnied.[Note: It was one of the film""s running gags that the horses whinnied whenever her name was mentioned.
