One of Hammer's earliest exercises in sci-fi was this charmingly dated cross between 'Alraune' and 'The Fly', complete with a Malcolm Arnold score.
It serves to showcase strapping Hollywood Platinum blonde Barbara Payton (already with form in bringing out the worst in men when Tom Neal broke Franchot Tone's nose in a brawl over her); while here Stephen Murray shows that he understands more about science than about women by not anticipating that creating a second Miss Payton will create far more problems than he thinks it will solve.
The ending is a doozy.
