The Colossus of York [Blu-ray] [1958]

Format:Blu-ray Program Type:Movie Product Name:The Colossus of New York [Blu-ray] [1958] Screen Format:Black & White Studio:Olive Films Product Tags:Blu-ray This low-budget, Frankenstein-flavored sci-fi flick involves the transplantation of a dead scientist's brain into the body of a hulking, glowing-eyed, caped robot by the man's lunatic brother. Though initially a success, the operation soon goes horribly wrong as the robot begins to display increasingly homicidal behavior, zapping people with its gamma-ray eyes. The climax comes when the robot begins a murderous rampage in the United Nations. The only hope for stopping the monster comes from the late scientist's young son, who manages to reach what little of the scientist's identity still remains and calms the robot down. This is actually a well-written film with a strong emotional core and a fairly sympathetic monster, but it loses some ground thanks to the rather silly rivet-headed robot costume.~Cavett Binion Ross Martin - Dr. Jeremy Spensser Mala Powers - Anne Spensser Charles Herbert - Billy Spensser Otto Kruger - Dr. William Spennser John Baragrey - Dr. Henry Spensser Ed Wolff - The Colossus Robert Hutton - Prof. John Carrington Eugène Lourié - Director William Alland - Producer Thelma Schnee - Screenwriter John F.
