The Man Who Could Cheat Death

KhaddijaNov 16, 2022

Not one of Hammer's better known films, THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH is nonetheless an interesting piece from the studio's most famous period. Directed reasonably well by Terence Fisher and with a typically sinister performance from Anton Diffring as the lead (replacing Peter Cushing at short notice), this feels like a cross between two literary classics, The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde. The plot is quite small scale and character-focused, even dragged out a bit at times, but authoritative performances from Christopher Lee and in particular Hazel Court make it an entertaining watch.

Although not one of Hammer's best films, it is a good movie. The Victorian setting (although it is supposed to take place in Paris) is very charming. Some people have criticized the use of heavy fog in Paris but I feel it adds to the eerie and mysterious atmosphere. Christopher Lee is very effective and is a hero - which is rare in early Hammer films. Hazel Court is absolutely beautiful as the heroine. The plot is interesting and moves quite well. Compared to some other old movies that have been released on DVD, this one is a winner. It is truly a film that belongs in a Hammer fan's collection. Too bad Peter Cushing was not in the film because it would have been even better. I hope some Hammer fans read this and make a plea to have the movie released on DVD. At least it could be one movie of a double feature.

In 1890, in Paris, the artist Dr. Georges Bonnet (Anton Diffring) invites a group of friends for a private exposition of his new sculpture. Among the guests are Dr. Pierre Gerrard (Christopher Lee) and his companion Janine Du Bois (Hazel Court) that had an affair with Dr. Bonnet ten years ago in Italy. When they see each other, their love rekindle. However Dr. Bonnet has a dark secret since he is 104 years old and needs to have a gland transplanted every ten years to keep his youth. But his partner and friend Dr. Ludwig Weiss (Arnold Marle) had a stroke in Switzerland and cannot perform the surgery. "The Man Who Could Cheat Death" is a combination of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "The Picture of Dorian Gray", with a doctor that discovers a means to stay young with thirty and something years. This Hammer production has wonderful sets, great story and excellent cast. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "O Homem que Enganou a Morte" ("The Man Who Cheated Death")
