7 Faces of Dr. Lao

Apr 14, '11, 4:16 PM

One of my favorite fantasy films, based on a neat novel, The Circus of Dr. Lao.

From MGM in '64 I think, with a good cast including Tony Randall & Barbera Eden. Directed by George Pal, it turns up on TCM from time to time.

Any other fans here?

Lao's speech to the boy Mike always chokes me up...

A great film! Love the scene where the snake gets the villain's face (& cigar)! and the bit where Barbara Eden gets all horny from the Pan Pipes.

It's a strange movie, I liked it. The scene where he crushes that old lady's dreams kind of bummed me out, though.

Thanks Kat

It was my first attempt at sculpting

The eyes were the hardest trying to sculpt a Caucasian wearing bad Asian eye appliances.
