Review Summary
MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES is a movie directed by Roger Corman in 1963.

Ray Milland is a searcher obsessed with the idea to develop the abilities of the eye. He experiments on himself a formula that enables him to see through walls, flesh and... clothes. As the Foundation that finances him doesn't believe in the economical value of his discoveries, Ray must accept jobs as a clairvoyant in fairs and later as a healer for the poor people in order to continue his experiments.

Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
