Movie Review: Indestructible Man (1956)

Directed by Jack Pollexfen

Movie review by Greg Goodsell

"Butcher" Benton (Lon Chaney Jr.) goes to his death at the big house, cursing the trio who double-crossed him following an armored-car hold-up: "Squeamy" Ellis (Marvin Ellis), Joe Marcelli (Ken Terrell) and Paul Lowe (Ross Elliott), his attorney as well as secret leader of the gang. Benton vows to return from the grave to avenge his death. Executed without revealing the location of the stolen loot, Benton is brought back to life by two low-rent mad scientists and begins his killing spree. Police Lieutenant Dick Chasen (Max Showalter) narrates in tough “Dragnet” style while girlfriend and “dancer” Eva (Marian Carr) is justifiably perturbed.

Described as a “childhood favorite” by many, with its seedy milieu of death row executions, burlesque halls, double-crosses, gangsters, skid row gin joints and casual brutality, Indestructible Man has more than enough to entertain children of all ages.
