(Blu-ray, Kino Lorber)
In 1890 Paris, artist Anton Diffring secretly murders people and drinks a potion derived from a gland every 6 hours to keep from showing his true age of 104. He needs an operation to replace the gland which gives him the apparent immortality, but has to blackmail his model girlfriend's rival Christopher Lee into doing it. Lee fakes the operation, which causes Diffring to rapidly age unexpectedly. One of his victims which he keeps imprisoned takes the opportunity for revenge in a fiery climax. Talky if typical Hammer production, with some good make up effects, colorful sets and plunging necklines from costar Hazel Court.
