3/10
Cloning Drama.
20 November 2013
Early film from Hammer studios is a science fiction yarn about two lifelong friends named Bill & Robin(Stephen Murray & John Van Eyssen) who are in love with the same girl named Lena(played by Barbara Payton) Eventually, Lena chooses Robin, leaving Bill devastated, but as a scientist, he has invented a cloning device that duplicates matter, so creates a new Lena for himself, named Helen. Unfortunately, Helen also loves Robin(!) so frustrated and angry, Bill goes to extreme lengths to rectify this... Good premise, with much potential, but largely goes unrealized in dull and melodramatic film that turns into pure soap opera. Terence Fisher directed, but would go on to better films.
