(L'uomo meccanico). André Deed wrote, directed, and starred in this remarkable early science fiction film featuring a female criminal mastermind and a massive robot running amok. It survives only in fragmentary form, but what remains is enough to convey the fascination and terror of the mechanical monster, which Deed described as “a machine in human form built out of pure steel (possessing) a terrifying strength, an incalculable speed. . . . In short, a truly infernal invention.”
