___________________

From the play by Barre Lyndon comes this story about a 120-year old scientist (Nils Asther) who looks thirtysomething because of glands and organs misappropriated from others.

The story is set in London, so naturally Scotland Yard is on the case, hounding the killer's footsteps.

The villain wins a certain amount of viewer sympathy by falling in love with Helen Walker — which, alas, proves to be his fatal mistake. A good job all around makes this one a treat. Hammer later remade it as "The Man Who Could Cheat Death".

Directed by Ralph M. Murphy.

If you're a fan of the great Miklos Rozsa, here's the full soundtrack to this move. Sounds pretty good. Very Happy

I kept think that it reminded me of The Thief of Bagdad . . . and then I remembered that Miklos Rozsa did the soundtrack for that one too! Very Happy
