Review of X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963) by Art S — 21 May 2011
Ray Milland in a Roger Corman low-budget flick focused on a "mad scientist" who develops some eye-drops that allow him to see through things. He wants to use it for good (finding tumors, diagnosing illnesses) but this is not to be.
Corman's psychedelic use of "spectravision" means that there is an experimental tone to the latter half of the film -- seeing through things means seeing them with all the colors of the prism (and blurry).
However, too much plot time is spent on chases and not enough on the philosophical/religious pay-off. But there is Don Rickles!
