What your eyes don't see; your mind will. Curt Siodmak directs his own screenplay. Its stimulating and suspenseful; you may even think high brow, but low-key. If you're waiting to see a monster; sorry. Richard Carlson plays Dr. Jeffrey Stewart, who experiments with radioactive isotopes; things get a little out of hand and a novel monster is accidentally created. It consumes energy that turns into deadly amounts of radiation that it of course emits. The monster is identified by the magnetic field that surrounds it. Dr. Stewart calculates that the monster will double its size every 12 hours. With his associate Dan Forbes(King Donovan), Stewart goes on a monster hunt to protect the public from any major magnetic problems. Other players: Jean Byron, Leonard Mudie, Harry Ellerbe, Leo Britt and Kathleen Freeman. THE MAGNETIC MONSTER is an Ivan Tors production well worth watching.
