The idea of ​​“Freak” was born to Harry Bardin after the filming of “ Marriage ”. In order to hold the ropes, a wire frame was needed. After filming, he had a whole reel of special German aluminum wire, which was later used when shooting a new film ^[1] .

The story of a wire man who brought protection of himself against others to an absurdity, transforming his wife and dog into barbed wire and fencing himself off from the outside world.
