Warner Bros moved fast to cash in on the short-lived Fifties boom in 3-D films, remaking their 1933 chiller Mystery of the Wax Museum in under two weeks and cleaning up at the box office in the process. It retains most of its power, even when it's shown 'flat', due in no small measure to Vincent Price's gleefully horrid performance as the mad wax museum proprietor who uses real bodies as a basis for his immobile exhibits. Phyllis Kirk makes an attractive heroine with a nice line in screams, Charles Bronson puts in an early screen appearance, here billed as Charles Buchinski, and most wondrous of all, the film was directed by André de Toth who, because he had only one eye, was unable to see in three dimensions!
