4D Man (1959)
Welcome to the 4th dimension

I have just seen 4D Man for the second time and enjoyed it more than the first time I had seen it.

A scientist and his brother come up with a device that can make things go through anything. Things start to go wrong though and one of the brothers resorts to crime by simply walking and reaching through windows and walls. After stealing an apple from a grocer's and nearly stealing from a jewellery shop, he sees a bank and robs it. He then starts murdering people just by putting his hand through them. They age quick as they die. The 4D Man ages as the movie goes on. He is eventually tracked down by the police and disappears at the end. Through all this, his brother falls in love with his girlfriend.

The special effects are quite good for a low budget movie and the rather jazzy score is quite good, though unusual for this type of movie.

The movie stars Robert Lansing (Empire Of the Ants) as the 4D Man, Lee Meriwether as his girlfriend, James Congdon as his brother and a young Patty Duke.

4D Man is worth seeing if you get the chance. Excellent.

Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.
