AKA x: the man with the x-ray eyes."My dear doctor, I'm closing in on the gods."
Dr. James Xavier (Ray Milland) is a scientist determined to develop man's eye sight, convinced the eyes are not used to their potential. To do so he develops some eye-drops, which in true sci-fi style he uses on himself. The drops change his sight giving him the power to see through objects and people. Unfortunately due to a surgical accident he ends up on the run, in need of money to continue his work. With Dr Fairfax (Diana Van der Vlis) a former assistant trying to help him, he sets out to get as much as possible, before his sight develops any more and his increasing perception of the universe and how it is put together possibly sends him mad...
A fine sci-fi by Corman, that delves into the possibility that there are some things that scientists are not meant to tamper with.
