After seventeen years in prison, the former respected Parisian banker Paul Lavond flees with his friend, the lunatic scientist Marcel that is researching with his wife Malita the miniaturization of animals and human beings to improve the resources of mankind. Paul Lavond was framed for robbery by his scoundrel associates Emil Coulvet, Charles Matin and Victor Radin that had stolen his business while his family was doomed to shame, poverty and tragedy. When Marcel reduces the retarded servant Lachna, he learns that the woman is motionless and only responds to the control of his brain and has a heart attack. After the death of Marcel, Paul Lavond sees the chance to use the miniaturization process as instrument of vengeance and he travels to Paris with the insane Malita disguised of Madame Mandilip, a nice old lady and owner of a dolls store. Paul Lavond, using the identity of Madame Mandilip, befriends his resented and estranged daughter Lorraine Lavond and plots a scheme to revenge and vindicate his family name.
陶德布朗宁的B级片从不让人失望。基督山恩仇记。惊艳的特效浪漫色彩的谋杀案。他的片子台词也是一大特色精美的与恐怖的主题不符。怪博士怪阿姨什么的这些科学怪人终于输了一次。
现在看完全不恐怖,但七十多年前的特效仍令人赞叹。Tod-Browning 很喜欢玩此类题材。
即使告诉我电影里的那些不是特技,而是Tod Browning真的搞了些这种实验,我也不会有多惊讶
特效厉害,对比类似20来年后的The incredible shrinking man丝毫不显粗糙,甚至更胜一筹
