Good science fiction film operates as the best science fiction films do, as stories that reflect other subjects. Here its all matters of the heart and what can we do to get our hearts desire. The plot is simple, a heart broken scientist uses a duplicating machine to make a copy of the girl he loves. The trouble is its an exact copy. How that all plays out is the film and its a fine one at that.(a side note some of the themes show up in Andrei Tarkovsky's classic Solaris) This is an early film from Hammer Studios and I've never really been sure why the film isn't better known. Perhaps because its such an early film that no one noticed or perhaps its because its a black and white film and when we think of Hammer we generally think of the color Dracula and Frankenstein films of the 50's and 60's. you really need to see this film because its a neat little story. Its just a finely crafted small scale film.
