I Turn To Stone...

THE MAN WHO TURNED TO STONE-1957-Strange goings-on at a women’s penitentiary as a group of scientists (lead by an oily Victor Jory) experiment on inmates and try to cover it up. Apparently they are all around 200 years old and need healthy women of child bearing years to help them say young and not turn to stone when they die! I’m not making this up. How would you like to turn to stone when you die?

William Hudson (later the philandering husband in Bert I. Gordon’s ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN) investigates. Friedrich (Von) Ledebur is the zombie like Eric who eventually does turn to stone. He’d played Queequeg in John Huston’s MOBY DICK the year before and was in VOODOO ISLAND and THE 27TH DAY the same year as TMWTTS. Busy TV actress Ann Doran is Jory’s assistant. Also with Charlotte Austin, Jean Willes and Paul Cavanaugh. 

Hungarian born director Laszlo Kardos also provided the story for DANCE WITH ME HENRY, Abbott & Costello’s last movie.
