Odd, intriguing Sci-Fi thriller.
Cor blimey. I first saw this film (or part of it) in the 70's, and I found it intriguing. I didn't know what it was and in those days there was no easy way of finding out, so I just assumed it would be on again sometime. I was wrong - I never saw anything of it again. Then a few days ago I stumbled across the DVD while browsing on Amazon. It was under the Italian title 'La Forza Invisibile', but the original English soundtrack is present.Strange, unsettling events begin to take place at a research centre for human development, and a gruesome death starts Jim Tanner (Hamilton) on a quest to find a mystery man and figure out what is happening.Byron Haskin's direction keeps us moving on nicely and some of the special effects are pretty nifty, especially the toy soldiers in the shop window. It has the look of a TV movie or a pilot for a TV series, but in the late 60's a lot of US films had this appearance. All in all an interesting SF/thriller which left us both impressed.

Odd ball sixties movie
This Italian title works perfectly in English, without subtitles, as the DVD version of "The Power". Its a slightly daft plot that you can easily pick holes in, but its great as a 60's period piece. It's a good ending also, wrapping everything up. It may not be to everyone's taste, but I lapped it up. It's the kind of film I like to go back to and enjoy over again.

One of the great sci-fi movies of its time
One of the great sci-fi movies of its time. The music score is just right to invoke the threat of the man of the future. The concept of a homo superior is excitingly portrayed in this film with quality acting by by both Michael Rennie and George Hamilton. Despite it being a European DVD it is a simple procedure to play it in English without the foreign subtitles.

strange how memory works
it was very odd watching this. I saw this on television a long time ago. I don't remember it in colour for a start. I also don't remember it being quite so melodramatic. that being said its still an interesting film. worth a remake.
