An off-kilter amaIgam of Frankenstein and Our Gang. This UniversaI production was ripped from 1934 headlines that announced a young chemist, Dr. Robert E. Cornish, had brought Iife to the dead by scientific means. "l wiIl have the formuIa that wiII start the blood circuIating again, and with it breath, and with it life!" says scientist Dr. Arnold Kendrick (OnsIow Stevens). Outcast by his medical coIleagues, the doctor struggles to maintain his scientific vision of serving humanity whiIe his Iife becomes unraveIed. On the brink of insanity after his wife's death, his miracuIous experiment is about to change the worId. lntercut with actuaI documentary footage of the life-giving operation by the reaI Dr. Cornish, this dramatic feature conveys passion and urgency through compelIing performances by Onslow Stevens, Valerie Hobson and the young George Breakston and Richard Quine (both of whom went on to achieve success as fiIm directors). |
