The Head ★★ 1959

A scientist comes up with a serum that can keep the severed head of a dog alive. Before too long, he tries the stuff out on a woman, transferring the head from her own hunch-backed body to that of a beautiful stripper. Weird German epic sports poor special effects and unintentional laughs, but is interesting nonetheless. 92m/B VHS, DVD . GE Horst Frank, Michel Simon, Paul Dahlke, Karin Kernke, Helmut Schmidt; D: Victor Trivas; W: Victor Trivas.
