The Man Who Could Cheat Death

Streaming video - 1959

In Paris during 1890, 104-year-old Georges Bonnet is a sculptor who maintains a youthful appearance by regularly murdering women and using their parathyroid glands as an elixir to ward off the signs of age. When Bonnet requires a vital surgery to be undertaken he asks his old colleague Prof. Ludwig Weiss to perform it. He declines and Bonnet then blackmails Pierre Gerard into performing the operation by endangering the life of Janine Dubois, a young lady in whom both Bonnet and Gerard are romantically interested.
