INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN, THE(1956)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
This isn't too bad! Basic story is there's
four men who've robbed an armored truck and
hidden the money away! One of them gets snagged
for the job and goes to death row! Two problems:
He's the one who knows where the money is, and
there's a "mad scientist" who's working on a serum
to bring people back to the living!! There's a
narrator throughout the whole movie who's the
main cop in the case! B-
From a reviewer from IMDb.com:
This is NOT a "mad scientist" type of film
like the description may sound like or the
movie poster may indicate.
Never mind the film's movie poster - the
film is more of a detective crime story
(film noir) with a splash of sci-fi horror
than it is the other way around. The poster
looks as if Lon Chaney, Jr. is a man that
can electrocute you with just his touch - and
this film is not that way; the film's
poster does NOT do this movie justice.
I actually like this film. It's better than
it's rating and what some of the critics
have to say about it. You would have to
watch the film to judge for yourself.
If you like detective stories, film noir,
crime stories, science fiction, horror
and/or Lon Chaney, Jr. then you should
like "Indestructible Man" - at least give
the film a chance when you can get around
to watching it.
