Did You Know?
| Trivia | Unusually for an Anglo Amalgamated release (which normally went out on the ABC circuit), "The Hypnotist" was released on Rank's Gaumont circuit in July 1957 as the bottom half of a double bill with Universal's Douglas Sirk melodrama "Interlude". Even more uncommonly, the double bill played for three weeks at the Gaumont, Haymarket from July 4th,1957. Usually, B movies did not get a West End screening. See more » |

Mary Foster:
Then get him away from these trick cyclists. Castor oil's moved a lot more mountains than Dr Freud ever has! Doctor Kenyon: I'd do anything to help him Doctor - anything at all. See more » |
