ALL SCI-FI

Bud Brewster

Slick Hammer Studios remake of "The Man in Half-Moon Street".

Anton Diffring plays a sculptor who, despite being one hundred years old, looks young because of periodic gland transplants that require victim-donors.

He develops a fascination for pretty Hazel Court ("Devil Girl from Mars") and forces her boyfriend, a doctor (Christopher Lee), to assist him in his gruesome rejuvenation process.

Directed by Hammer veteran Terence Fisher from a script by the prolific Jimmy Sangster.

I was dozing off while watching this, so I may have missed it. Was there an explanation given for the bust sculptures?

Saw the trailer to this one at another movie when I was just a kid.

Thought it was terrifying at the time.

Years later I tried to recall the title of the film but never could.
Hunted for it on my pc but to no avail.

Only recently discovered it! Felt like I solved a big mystery in my life. Very Happy

You got me, pal. I've never seen it.

I wrote that review (and many of the 688 I composed just for fun back in the 1990s) based on info from several reference books. Over time I've added all 688 to All Sci-Fi — rewriting each one a little or a lot, depending on what they needed.

I looked for a download of this one, but it doesn't seem to be available.

I rented it on DVD from Netflix.

So, did it turn out to be good?

As I say, I dozed off.
