7 Faces of Dr. Lao
Denne hypnotiserende filmen har viktige prestasjoner av Tony Randall i flere roller, samt fantastiske visuelle effekter og sminke som gjør den unik innen fantasy-kinoens historie. Midt under Den store depresjonen dukker et omreisende sirkus med mytiske beist som Medusa og den avskyelige snømannen uventet opp i den fjerntliggende byen Abalone i Arizona. Sirkusdirektøren, en eldre kinesisk mann ved navn Dr. Lao, inviterer innbyggerne til å se showet hans - men de merkelige attraksjonene der forandrer lokalsamfunnet for alltid. Talentene til Randall, dukkespiller/regissør George Pal og sminke-ekspert William J. Tuttle (som vant to spesial-Oscarpriser) gir en fengslende og unik underholdningsopplevelse. Filmen ble nominert til Oscar for Beste visuelle effekter.
