Review:
After his girlfriend is an a terrible car wreck, he snatches her head and does some creative surgery experiments to try to find her a body. At the time it was a rather original idea, sort of based around the Frankenstein idea obviously, but this is actually quite fun in spite of how dated it is. I was most amused at how annoying this girlfriend actually is as a head, I mean why not just throw it out and get a new girlfriend, can it be THAT difficult? I guess he is a mad scientist so maybe it is. Not bad really for an early '60s movie, but is a bit of a struggle with all of the dialog.
