David Hedison stars as scientist and inventor Andre Delambre, who has created a teleporting machine capable of transmitting matter from place to place in enclosed cubicles. After one experiment with the cat goes wrong(poor Dandelion!) he tries again with himself, only a tiny housefly is in there with him, causing them to switch heads and an arm! His wife Helene, along with son Phillipe, try to help him, as does his brother Francois(played by Vincent Price) by locating the fly, which has flown away, in order to reverse the process, but it sadly doesn't work out... Popular thriller has some effective makeup, and a legendary climax, which is still disturbing, but is otherwise far too slow to overcome the ludicrous central premise. The cat scene is equally disturbing to me! Followed by two sequels, then later remade.
