Featured review
George Sanders stars as a charlatan psychopath.He has invented a machine which is supposed to help make people walk.Rather to spite the chief of his opponents,Kynaston Reeves,he manages to persuade his daughter to take the treatment,which will last for months.As a result her boyfriend rather looses interest in her and becomes involved with an American singer played by Barabara Blair.In a nightclub on New Years Eve she sings a rather catchy number "Dreaming Of You"'Sanders has fallen for his patient.He calls a press conference to prove his methods.However she is unable to walk.She tries and falls to the ground.Sanders manages to get her to Twitter a few steps in private.The ending is extremely silly and ruins what had gone before.
