Review of The Human Duplicators

A tall alien comes to earth to prepare the planet for invasion by creating human duplicates (androids actually) of key scientific people. And a secret agent. The agent Glenn Martin is played by George Nader and he is rather boring. At one point his girlfriend Gale says to him, "Sometimes I wonder what I see in you" to which sentiment this viewer heartily concurred. The alien Kolos is played by Richard Kiel and I rather liked him. He has a kind of interesting presence. George Macready as Prof. Vaughn Dornheimer (and his duplicate) is watchable as definitely is the wispy Dolores Faith as his blind daughter Lisa, drifting about the mansion (which has the obligatory dungeon) in vividly coloured clothes. It's not a great film by any means but there is an indefinable charm about it.
