A dangerous convict is sentenced to the electric chair. But his organism does not collapse with the 300,000 volts that he receives but, thanks to a scientific experiment to achieve a cure against cancer, he resurrects and begins a revenge against the gangsters who led him to that situation.<br /><br />Indestructible Man is a 1956 American crime horror science fiction film, an original screenplay by Vy Russell and Sue Dwiggins for producer-director Jack Pollexfen and starring Lon Chaney Jr., Ross Elliott and Robert Shayne.<br /><br />The picture was produced independently by C.G.K. Productions, and distributed in the United States by Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. The film was distributed theatrically in 1956 on a double bill with World Without End (and in some areas with Invasion of the Body Snatchers).<br /><br />"Butcher" Benton goes to his death in the state prison, cursing the three men who double-crossed him following an armored-car hold-up; "Squeamy" Ellis, Joe Marcelli and Paul Lowe, his attorney and leader of the gang. He vows to return and kill them and dies without revealing the location of the stolen money. <br /><br />Detective Chasen is determined to keep working on the case until the stolen loot is recovered. Benton's body is taken to Professor Bradshaw and his assistant for experimentation, and they manage to restore him to life, making him practically indestructible in the process. <br /><br />He takes off after the three men, getting rid of everybody who stands in his way. He is impervious to police bullets. He kills Ellis and Marcelli, while Lowe seeks police protection. Benton takes to the sewers to recover the hidden loot and the police are powerless to stop him<br /><br />Production stills exist of scenes not in the film as released. One shows "Butcher" Benton at a jail where a policeman's body lies on the ground as Benton carries off Eva Martin. The scene logically came after the police threatened to release Paul Lowe from custody if he does not reveal the location of Benton's loot, and before the scene where it is revealed Eva has checked herself out of a hospital, presumably after recovering from unspecified injuries. Presumably, this scene is where Benton made good on his threat to get Paul Lowe, breaking into the jail to do it.<br /><br />Although Joe Flynn played a serious role in this film, audiences laughed at him. This convinced him that comedy was his forte, and he later specialized in comedic roles, most memorably as the irascible Captain Binghamton on TV's McHale's Navy (1962–66).<br /><br />The full story of the making of the movie (complete with interviews with some of the participants) plus the script and pressbook are featured in the book Scripts from the Crypt: 'Indestructible Man' (BearManor, 2015) by Tom Weaver.<br /><br /><br />HORROR FILMS PLAYLIST <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f9uViSRlE0&list=PLc9B2I-EfwbZdGqcBstUkMuukEPYiytPa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f9uViSRlE0&list=PLc9B2I-EfwbZdGqcBstUkMuukEPYiytPa</a><br /><br />FULL PLAYLIST <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLqoK0GrtiKcnu-QRl8ykhQ/playlists" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLqoK0GrtiKcnu-QRl8ykhQ/playlists</a><br /><br /><br />Original title: Indestructible Man<br />Year: 1956<br />Duration: 70 min.<br />Country: United States United States<br />Direction: Jack Pollexfen<br />Screenplay: Vy Russell, Sue Dwiggins<br />Music: Albert Glasser<br />Photography: John L.
