aka The Monster and the Woman.
"He was driven by a force he couldn't control."
Dr Harvey (James Hayter) relates the story of Bill, Robin and Lena (Stephen Murray, John Van Eyssen and Barbara Payton), childhood friends who develop a 'reproducer', a machine capable of duplicating any object. But problems follow when Lena marries Robin. Bill in love with Lena himself, convinces Lena to allow him to copy her, so he can have a Lena of his own. Unfortunately he does not account on the feelings of the duplicate, Helen. For she also falls for Robin.
This could have been a great film, but is far too slow in developing its central premise. The last third of the film turns out to be a small gem, but far too late in the day to help overall.
