...appears as the old scientist and gets the chance to wear a great deal of makeup. Little else can be said of his first major screen appearance except that he is admirably limber. Castle is using him as a come-on for his movie, as if Marceau were a skeleton that glows or a hotwired seat...
...Castle fashioned a personality for himself-a sort of little-theater Hitchcock-and assaulted audiences with gimmicks that never really succeeded in disguising the abject sleaziness of his movies.
