The Alligator People (1959)

The Alligator People



STORY:

Nurse Jane Marvin (Garland), reveals under hypnosis that her real name is Joyce Webster and tells an incredible story. On honeymoon with her husband, war veteran Paul Webster (Richard Crane), a telegram is received, casuing him to walk off their train and disappear. She eventually tracks him down to a plantation mansion in the Bayou swamps and is unwelcome by the owner, Mrs. Lavinia Hawthorne (Frieda Inescort), who claims she never heard of Paul Webster. Joyce insists on staying, and soon discovers her hubby looking leathery and scale-faced as he creeps around the mansion and its swamps in a trenchcoat. It seems that Paul was the victim of a nasty plane crash and ended up being burnt with a body full of broken bones. Trying to prompt a full recovery, a scientist experimented on him using a special regenerative formula extracted from alligators, but unfortunately, the results are transforming him into a reptile 

Straying from the nearly unwatchable pan and scan version that many monster movie fans have suffered through over the years, Fox presents THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE in 2.35:1 widescreen with anamorphic enhancement, beautifully preserving the original CinemaScope ratio. There is some minor speckling on the print source, but it is indeed minor. The black and white picture is very sharp with nice detail, and black levels are deep. There is a solid stereo track, as well as the original mono for purists, and even a Spanish language mono track.
