X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes (Corman, 1963): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6.30pm
This 35mm presentation (also screened on November 23rd) is part of the Roger Corman season at BFI Southbank. You can find the full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Scientist Ray Milland discovers a potion that gives him X-ray vision,
and after becoming a freak he ends his days as a sideshow attraction
promoted by Don Rickles, who gives a fine low performance. This queasy
1963 SF parable was directed—quickly and cheaply—by Roger Corman for
American-International, drawing some of its strength from its tawdry
drive-in overtones. Milland grows through his debasement, and the
production offers plenty of it.
