Sinopsis(1)
El oftalmólogo Dr. James Xavier (Ray Milland) experimenta en sus propios ojos con una sustancia que le permite recibir las ondas de luz que habitualmente la retina no capta. De esta forma puede leer un libro cerrado, diagnosticar una enfermedad sin auscultar al paciente y ver a través de las ropas con que se cubren las personas. En definitiva, ha logrado que los objetos opacos sean translúcidos, descubriendo una nueva realidad sin límites. Lo que parece ser el gran descubrimiento del siglo pronto se convierte en un auténtico quebradero de cabeza ya que ninguna persona está capacitada para absorber una visión tan interior, completa y minuciosa de nuestro mundo.

A likeable low-budget Corman-flick about a doctor who, after experimenting on himself, gains X-ray vision that allows him to see up women's skirts, give people medical diagnoses for money, and hustle blackjack dealers in gambling halls. However, his murderous act and the worsening condition of his eyes lead the story to a bleak ending. The effects are appropriate to the budget, people's insides are painted, and lechers don't get to see women's naked parts because Corman chastely occupies them from the head down to at most a few centimetres below the chin. Former acting celebrity Ray Milland, once an Oscar-winning actor (and later mired in B-movie projects) is as reliable as ever in the lead role; this wasn't his first collaboration with Corman.
