the man who could cheat death (1956)

"What is death that it should be feared so much?"
Dr. Bonner (Anton Diffring) has found a way to live forever, but to do so necessitates regular human gland transplants, and when a woman who has modeled for him goes missing, people start to get suspicious about his ever youthful appearance.
A remake of 'The Man in Half Moon Street' that gathers together a number of Hammer stars, including Christopher Lee, in a rare outing as the hero, and Hazel Court as the damsel in distress. Much talk, and little action renders this a lesser, though still entertaining Hammer.
