This one is from the "anti science" sub genre of 50's SciFi. A scientist attempts to learn the secrets of cell regeneration with somewhat mixed results.
While this is all a pretty obvious attempt to cash in on the success of The Fly, it is good fun. The plot (even without seeing the poster) is 101% predictable.
In what seems like a sensible medical experiment, the doctor tries a serum distilled from the thyroid glands of alligators. It clearly will help accident victims re-grow lost limbs.
No doubt, you have already guessed one of the scenes..
"Look darling, the doctors have made my arm better"
"But you have a bloody great heinous alligator's head".
Trouble is - we can all laugh at 50's movies now, but this one gave me nightmares, along with The Incredible Shrinking Man.
