Probably all this film will be remembered for is an elderly Moe Howard of the Three Stooges fame in a bit role.
The plot is convoluted as heck. A man contacts a magician to resurrect his dead wife (who is in excellent shape after being dead for weeks and presumably not embalmed or autopsied).
Even though the Magician has been doing this for hundreds of years, he can't get this body to resurrect, for whatever reason. And he keeps trying after the man tells him to get lost.
Oh, and there's a love story between the "hero" (who actually comes off as a weird creep) and his secretary (because this was in the days before sexual harassment became a thing.)
And that's it. It was just interesting enough to watch on YouTube's creature features without getting boring.

God Bless Peter Cushing. Whether he was doing a classic Hammer film or a walk-on part in Star Wars, or even working for a schlock house like Titan or Amicus, he always brought his A-Game. Unfortunately, even his A-game couldn't save this mess.
So the plot is that a famous doctor (Cushing) has a girlfriend who is injured at a wild 1960s party. The treatment involves removing the pituitary gland from living victims.
The movie moves along as a classic horror film until the ending, which involves a laser and a group of hippy home invaders. I don't even think the producers knew what they were doing, as it all ended in a mess, or maybe it was a dream, or perhaps they just didn't know how to resolve the storyline.
