Four Sided Triangle 4K 1953

An early, black-and-white movie from the famed British studio Hammer, from top Hammer director Terence Fisher.

Bill (Stephen Murray), Robin (John Van Eyssen) and the beautiful Lina (Barbara Payton) live in a small town where nothing ever happens. They have been friends since early childhood. Playing Knights of the Round Table, the boys have fought more than once for the favor of their queen. The children's games were watched with a smile by the wise Dr. Harvey (James Hayter). When the boys began to grow up, Doc became Bill's guardian and mentor and was the first to notice the spark of genius in him, which at times even frightened the doctor.

Years passed. The boys grew up, graduated from Cambridge and returned to their hometown. Lina returned to it, having given up on the sweet life. Combining their knowledge and aspirations, the trio creates a machine that today would be called a 3D printer. The device can exactly copy any thing. At the same time, young people are interested only in science: no copying, for example, the atomic bomb and world domination is out of the question. But, understandably, there comes a situation when one of the friends marries Lina, and the other decides to create an exact copy of her.

The movie turned out to be very raw. Not too successful selection of actors played its role, of which only the character of Dr. Harvey is memorable, and he is a minor character in this four-sided triangle.

And, most importantly, the story itself could have been the beginning for a really cool movie. And Terence Fisher made such a movie in 1966 - “Frankenstein Created Woman” with the magnificent Peter Cushing and sexy Susan Denberg.

“Four Sided Triangle” is one case where the movie is simply outdated.
