I had a chance to interview actress Merry Anders (scientist Carol White in this 1964 film) once and she retold the story of how Ib Melchoir met the fellow with the claw hands at a party and asked him to be in the film. A curious note: Merry Anders made three films where disfigurement played a prominent part: First was "Hypnotic Eye," which was banned in some places for its gruesome depictions. Next came "House of the Damned," with actual circus freaks inhabiting a mansion. And of course, "The Time Travelers". Go (dis)figure. Paul Woodbine (Merry Anders expert)"
Also,the film "Hypnotic Eye" was completely banned in Finland; it is one strange film and the actors were actually hypnotized at points. I have many stills from this film. Merry was a looker all right. She had the other, more popular, blonde bombshells of the 'fifties beat by a mile. Check out a web site called Glamourgals of the Silver Screen; I wrote her entry and contributed the photos. Sincerely, Paul
