THE UNKNOWN MAN OF SHANDIGOR—Widescreen Edition (1966) Daniel Emilfork, Marie-France Boyer, Howard Vernon, Ben Carruthers, Jacques Dufilho. This is one of the most unique European sci-fi-intrigue thrillers you will ever see—seriously. It’s filled with brilliant filmmaking unlike anything you would ever see in other similar films of the era. Emilfork plays Von Krantz, a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientist who has invented a device that can effectively cancel all the world’s nuclear weapons He and his daughter and their assistant become targets of several governments who want the device for themselves. Vernon plays a high class assassin who’s really good with a knife. The acid-gas execution scene is something you’ll never forget! There’s even a delightfully bizarre, ultra-hip music number performed by one of the assassins while his bald companions perform an autopsy. Wow… English subtitles. Aka The Virgin of Shandigor. Widescreen, from 35mm.
