4D Man (1959)
(released as The Evil Force in the UK)

Starring Robert Lansing, Lee Meriwether, James Congdon, Robert Strauss

PLOT:
Two brothers, scientists Scott and Tony Nelson, develop an amplifier which enables a person to enter a 4th dimensional state, allowing him to pass through any object. Scott experiments on himself and discovers that each time he passes through something he ages rapidly. He begins killing people, sucking out their life energies and regaining his youth as a result. It falls to Tony and Scott's girlfriend, Linda, to try to put a stop to his murderous rampage.

Steve McQueen, who had starred in the previous Yeaworth-Harris collaboration The Blob (1958), was originally set to star in the film. However, McQueen had been so difficult to work with that he was dropped in favour of Robert Lansing.

This independent film was produced by Jack H. Harris (from his original screenplay), and directed by Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr.
Harris was able to begin production of the film with the money he had received from The Blob (1958), which was also directed by Yeaworth.
