Doctor Ray Milland creates a serum that gives him X-ray vision. Low-rent thriller from producer-director Roger Corman features shivery music (courtesy Les Baxter), hysteria, and young party-goers dancing naked (as seen through Milland's eyes...you mean he can see through clothes but not through skin?). Film's biggest problem is that once Milland has X-ray vision, nothing fascinating is done with his character or with his discovery. As for the star-lead, he's sour and surly throughout. Cinematographer Floyd Crosby is allowed to open the picture with an outrageous shot, but visual interest wanes from there. *1/2 from ****
