Jeremy Spensser dies ironically right after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. His father, a brilliant doctor, unable to cope with what has happened, works secretly on his son's dead body before it is buried and succeeds in connecting the brain to a metal robot. What can go wrong?
You gotta love these 50's Sci-Fi films.I mean ,seriously, anything can happen.This film is one that doesn't exaggerate that much in its story! Director's Eugène Lourié filmography is not vast (he was more of an art director rather than a director) but he has done a good job here.Just as good as the film deserves.
Ross Martin spends more time "dead" than alive here but he tries to convey as many feelings and emotions as he can get out of his metal cast role (get it? He is a robot). The rest of the cast's performances are at the same level (nothing too special about this film actually), nothing to good nothing too bad. If you ask me why to watch this, I will tell you that if you get a special reminiscing sentiment with this kind of films (like me), if you feel somewhat safe in the comfort of black-and-white and steady acting and if you enjoy a fast-paced Sci-Fi with enough holes in the plot to make you question everything, then watch this definitely. Otherwise, skip it!Your choice.
Must watch this : if you are bored with usual scenarios and want to see something eccentric.With a salad on a lazy,hot summer night!
