SCI-FI-LONDON and HAMMER FILMS are presenting four fantastic classics from the 50s. We made some movies great movies in the UK back then, these are four classics.

STOLEN FACE
(UK, 1952, Dir: Terence Fisher)
Paul Henreid plays Dr Ritter, a plastic surgeon who falls in love
with a beautiful concert pianist, Alice. However, Alice is engaged
to be married and, afraid to tell Ritter, she runs away. Ritter is
devastated.

At his London surgery he works on Lily, a female convict whose
face is disfigured. He makes her look like Alice and marries her.
However, Lily has not changed her ways and returns to a life of
crime. Meanwhile Alice calls off her engagement and goes to see
her true love Ritter, only to find another woman who looks exactly like her.

X, THE UNKNOWN
(UK, 1957, Dir: Leslie Norman)
When the population of a village near to an abandoned quarry is
devastated by lethal radiation burns, Dr Royston tries to
convince authorities of the possibility of a life from deep
within Earth that has surfaced to feed on humans.

Director Leslie Norman creates an inky-black atmosphere, the
gooey remains of a man whose flesh is found melting off his
skeleton is one of the most startling moments of any Hammer picture.

FOUR-SIDED TRIANGLE
(UK, 1953, Dir: Terence Fisher)
Lena returns to her hometown on a sentimental journey and is
reunited with her childhood friend Bill, who is now a scientist.
Bill and his colleague, Robin, have developed a 'duplicating
machine' (think cloning device). When Robin and Lena fall in
love, the heartbroken Bill creates a duplicate Lena.

Unfortunately, since the clone is an exact copy it also falls in love
with Robin. A dreadful fire claims the life of one of the two Lenas – but which one?

SPACEWAYS
(UK, 1953, Dir: Terence Fisher)
At a secret rocket base in England, Scientist Howard Duff
(BRUTE FORCE, THE NAKED CITY) is accused of committing the
perfect crime - murdering his adulterous wife and her Russian
spy lover and disposing of their bodies by firing them into space
aboard a satellite. To prove his innocence, he must retrieve the
orbiter.

This is the first British space adventure since THINGS TO COME in 1936 and the first science fiction film produced by Hammer.
