The Most Dangerous Man Alive is a good sci-fi/gangster picture and I've seen this a couple of times.
Gangster Eddie Candell becomes indestructible after being caught up in an atomic bomb test that should have killed him. He now has steel in him which makes him very strong too. Police now want him dead more than ever as he is even more dangerous but a scientist wants him alive as he is a unique specimen and wants to do tests on him. He has two women on the go and he kidnaps one of these. Police eventually catch up with him though and he is killed by flame throwers at the end and turns into a pile of ash.
This movie has echoes of The Indestructible Man and the 1950's already had men exposed to radiation shrinking and turning into giants. Typical of the Atomic Age is this.
The cast includes Ron Randell, Debra Paget (The Haunted Palace), sci-fi regular Morris Ankrum (Invaders From Mars, Giant From the Unknown), Elaine Stewart and Tuder Owen.
The Most Dangerous Man Alive is quite an obscure movie and my copy is from the Sci-Fi Channel, which a mate taped for me as I don't have this. A treat.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
