Does anyone have a way to view this video?  Every youtube video of the episode has been removed or blocked.

If you're a Netflix/Roku subscriber, the entire Munsters series is available for instant viewing - uncut. By the way, I love that episode!

I was surprised to see that there is NO WIRE on the little guy in the episode.  Take a look.  He seems to be wireless, but there is no way he could have had batteries on board.  Someone explain how they pulled that one off.  I thought maybe the wire was just removed from the film.

Isn't there a wind-up version MARX produced?

The head pops off on the Marx Frankie, during the show.  Was this something the Marx Frankie did, or was this one used in the episode rigged for the show?

The head popping off must have been just for the show, and the windup version looks nothing like the battery op. version.  If anyone knows how they operated him without a wire, let me know.

So no one has any idea how they powered Franky without a wire?

There is a wire. One, very fine wire that obviously operates just the walking function.

Ahhh.  Now I have to go back and view the video a few more times.  Nice catch.

I just watched serveral times and cannot see any trace of wire, but my eyes aren't so good anymore.  Bob, can you see it, or are you just assuming it is there?

The Marx Frankenstein is also featured prominently on an "Alfred Hitchcock Hour" episode called "The Magic Shop" from 1964. The evil little kid plays with him while ignoring his mother's chastisement.

I just checked that episode.  It was more like a TZ than a Hitchcock show.  The boy was John Megna, who you might know as Dill in "To Kill a Mockingbird"...or one of the teen kids in the "Miri" episode of Star Trek.  He was in sore need of some orthidonture, but Franky was looking GREAT.

John Megna was Connie Stevens' younger brother! He also plays a small part in the pre-credit sequence of "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte."

Sorry I missed this. Yes, at some point in the film you can actually see a wire, and it blends in with or goes under a rug or something. Been a while.
