X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes (1963)


X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES  (1963)

    Harold J. Stone, Don Rickles, Dick Miller
Dr. Ray Milland develops some magic eye drops that allow him to see through things, which seems wonderful at first, but, of course, there are consequences. Winning at blackjack because you can see all the cards and scoping out the women on the dance floor because you can see through their clothes go in the plus column. Becoming psychotic and trying to drive while you're hallucinating do not. Something you'll see in this movie but probably nowhere else: Ray Milland doing the twist. The budget was close to $300,000, which makes it one of Corman's more expensive productions.
