BIZARRE AT TIMES...A 3-D ODDITY...HAS SOME CHARM AND APPEAL...AN EARLY 50'S ARTIFACT
9 September 2021
A Rush Job by Columbia to Cash-In on the New 3-D Craze.

The Story is Quite Dull and Repetitive but Comes Alive with Bizarre Shots and Scenes, Like Brain-Surgery, a Carnival Whip-Ride and other Nightmarish Visions.

The Climax on a Roller-Coaster is Exciting and Violent.

The Disappointment comes with Edmond O'Brien and Audrey Totter's Lackluster Coupling. There is a bit of Thuggish Behavior from Ted de Corsia but Not Enough to make the Story Sizzle.

There are Things that make this Worth a Watch and it Certainly is Anything but a Typical Noir. Fanciful but its All Surface Eye-Candy with the Crime and Medical Elements Rendered Flat alongside the Pumped-Up 3-D and Chases.

Historically Important and a Glaring Example of its Time. An Artifact Attraction then and Now.

Film Buffs should get a Kick Out of it.
