I had heard of this movie quite a while ago, but dismissed it as a ghastly 1970's B-Movie. How wrong I was!
Vincent Price Plays Dr.Anton Phibes a man who was presumed dead following a car accident after the Death of his beloved Wife on the operating table. But low and behold Dr. Phibes isn't dead although is terribly scarred and can only speak with the help of a grammaphone, and decides to have revenge on the Doctors he believes Killed his wife.
Price's performance is outstanding - hilarious one minute and scary the next, but thankfully he plays it tongue-in-cheek as do his co-stars Including Joseph Cotten,Terry-Thomas among the Doctors and Peter Jeffrey as the Det. leading the investigation
Don't just dismiss this as a Obscure,awful British B-Movie- It deserves better!
Follwed by a sequel.
My Rating *** out of ***** or 7/10
