Before you get your hopes up, let me state for the record that Santo does NOT grapple Frankenstein's daughter... Although he's slightly out of character in this one (he may have been bored, or simply uninterested in the goings-on), he does manage from time to time to get into a scrap. Said scraps are the saving grace(s) of this one. Like many of the color films in the Santo series (at least, the ones that I've seen), SANTO VS. FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER is unimpressive in the extreme (but I can't bring myself to give it less than a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10). The cinematography, in particular, is underwhelming- odd, when one considers the visual potential of these kind of movies. I've always thought that Spider-man, whose mask looks suspiciously like the mask worn by El Santo (especially the eye-holes, which are identical), may have been inspired, to some degree, by The Silvermask Man (and THE WASP WOMAN). Spidey has gotten his just due. Too bad Santo never did.
