Discovery of the hand causes police to believe he died in the river, and the House of Wax adds a likeness of him to its collection. O’Neal has various instruments fitted to his wrist such as a hook, scalpel, cleaver, etc., and he returns to Baltimore seeking vengeance. He picks up bar girl Laura Devon to act as a lure, and he kills Hayworth, doctor Richard O’Brien, and policeman Rogers, with Danova left to the last. They engage in hand to hand combat in the museum, and O’Neal dies from one of the objects on display. The case over, Danova can now take an interest in a repentant Devon. X-Ray: This horror entry starts out with due warning to the squeamish in the audience that a flashing red light and a yowling horn will designate footage which some may deem too horrible to contemplate and that they may turn away or close their eyes. Actually, things don’t really get that gory in all cases, but the gimmick can be exploited, advertised, etc., for possible better returns. The story is inter¬ esting enough, although there are talky sec¬ tions that could use better pacing. Perform¬ ances are good, with the production and direc¬ tion serviceable. The use of color is a definite plus factor here. The screenplay is by Stephen Kandel.

Lopert (English-made) Estimate: Interesting off-beat subject. Cast: Pauline Murray, Sebastian Shaw, Fiona Leland, Honor Fehrson. Written, pro¬ duced and directed by Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo. Story: In the 1940’s, the Allied forces have been defeated at Dunkirk and the Nazis suc¬ cessfully cross the channel and conquer Britain, turning it into a Fascist state with amenable local citizens ruling under German supervi¬ sion. There is scattered resistance from parti¬ sans and this causes the evacuation of inhabi¬ tants from some areas. One of these is district nurse Pauline Murray, who eventually reaches London where she wants to continue nursing but can only function under control of the ruling organization. With no alternative, she is enrolled and undergoes a rigorous training and indoctrination course. She finds that the uniform she has to wear causes all kinds of antagonisms. Visiting an old friend, Dr. Sebas¬ tian Shaw, his wife Fiona Leland and their child, she finds that he is blacklisted because he refuses to join the organization. They help a wounded partisan and are arrested. Murray is transferred to a county hospital for associat¬ ing with undesirables and it is clean but strangely empty. When a batch of Russian and Polish workers arrive for treatment of TB, they are given injections, which she discovers are fatal. She refuses to participate further and is arrested. The train she is riding is at¬ tacked by partisans and she is captured. She agrees to help care for the wounded at a first aid station as the fighting goes on nearby. X-Ray: An original idea has been expanded into an unusual, realistic and thought-provok¬ ing film that holds interest well despite some long-winded and padded sections. The realism is intensely felt as Nazi fascism takes over an enemy country and individuals are killed, im¬ prisoned and persecuted. It is made all the more creditable because the players are largely new to the screen and very natural in their actions and interpretations. The performances are good and direction and production are commendable. It probably can play in most houses with extra emphasis on the art spots where the off-beat and the thought-provoldng subjects are readily acceptable. It is based on an original idea by Kevin Brownlow. Ad Lines: “A Most Unusual Film Showing What Might Have Happened Had England Been Captured By The Nazis”; “England Con¬ quered By The Nazis . . . The Result Is A Most Unusual Film.” La Visita Comedy Drama 115M. Promenade Films (Italian-made) (English titles) Estimate: Cute import. Cast: Sandra Milo, Francois Perier, Mario Adorf, Angela Minervini, Caston Moschin, Didi Perego. Produced by Morris Ergas; di¬ rected by Antonio Pietrangeli. Story: Sandra Milo, good-looking spinster in her middle thirties, places an ad in the lonely hearts column. She corresponds with Francois Perier, eventually inviting him for a visit to her small town from Rome. She is well off with a good job, a car, and a home, and while she has been having an affair with a married truck driver, she feels that she would like to settle down with a man of her own. Perier sees this as a chance to get away from a book store job where he is not liked, and from the loneliness of his furnished room and an occasional affair with a hare-lipped seamstress. He is impressed with Milo and the house, etc., but he has reservations about her pets and her furniture arrangements. He over¬ eats and overdrinks. At the local bistro, he makes a play for a young girl and gets into an argument with the local townsfolk. Milo later admits that she has been having an affair, and they are surprised to find her lover asleep in bed as he has mistaken the day. Perier shrugs this off and is so drunk that he has to spend the night. He admits some of his problems, and when they part the next morning, they are fairly close and promise each other to continue corresponding. X-Ray: Two mature people seeking some¬ thing more concrete than an occasional affair meet to see about a future together. Some of the results are comic and some are touching, especially their admission of loneliness. The acting is realistic and well-done, and the pro¬ duction and direction are good. Art house audi¬ ences should like this import. Ad Lines: “A Lonely Hearts Ad Brings Two People Together With Some Unusual Results”; “A Fun-Filled Comedy ... A PleartTugging Drama.”
