He's Back!
and now better then ever(almost).
Back in 2007 It was brought up as a little known bit of trivia,
that Primo Carnera had portrayed the Frankenstein Monster
on a live television show back in the late 1950's.
Matinee Theatre on NBC-TV.It was an anthology series show that aired
live during the weekday afternoons.
No known kinescopes
were or are known to exist of this episode,nothing except for one blurry thumbnail photo of the makeup,
that was on the inter-net back in 2007,but even that disappered.
But now check this out.

i bet they needed very lil' makeup for him to pull
it off.he was one ugly sob

Thats sod,he looks like one ugly sod.
I think he sort of resembles Robert Deniro in Taxi driver
at the end of that movie a bit.

wait there's more!

Is it a coincidence that Primo Carnera's version of the monster (appearance wise) was EXACTLY the same as the Robert Deniro version? I think not considering both men are Italian.

that show aired LIVE on a Tuesday afternoon February.5. 1957 on NBC-TV.
