Indestructible Man (1956)
A violent criminal called The Butcher is brought back to life by a scientist using electricity. The Butcher becomes an invulnerable mute, and seeks vengeance upon those who caused his execution. Insert the Frankenstein into the Maltese Falcon, dumb it down a bit, and you have “Indestructible Man”. Keep an eye out for Max Showalter as the Lieutenant on the killer’s trail. He would later play MANY bit roles in Dragnet, a show that seems a direct descendant of this one–”normal” LAPD cops trying to deal with dangerous freaks.

Nice to see someone saves these old films. The old ones are better than some of these modern ones.

The "star" was born ZPeter Chaney but wanted to be more like his father and so changed his first name. Did not make him any better as an actor
