This cult favorite is a curiously intelligent film. Milland stars as Dr. Xavier, whose experiments with x-ray eye drops allow him to see through things causing moral dilemmas and scientific conflicts. These are some of the questions Corman raises. Indeed, this film is a relic, worth seeing again and again. A Dakar businessman takes a third wife and to his chagrin, he finds that he is impotent.
Film takes a cynical look at bourgeoisies aping their former rulers.
A very human look at the Sengalese people.
