Jane Hylton - Linda Stanford
Satoshi Nakamura - Dr. Robert Suzuki

In Japan an American journalist, Larry Stanford, sets out to interview a reclusive scientist, Dr. Robert Suzuki,and ends up involuntary experiment. The drug injected into him changes his personality so he goes from wanting to return home to his wife in America to choosing to stay in Japan, drink Saki and commit adultery. Then it begins to change him physically. His right arm becomes furrry and grows claws. At this point Larry becomes a homicidal maniac. An electric shock excellerates the change resulting a second head grow on his shoulder.
I don't recall seeing this film before yet I was expecting the second head. Perhaps I had seen the film years ago as part of an Omaha TV stations "Creature Feature" program and forgotten about it.
The Manster is available on a DVD titled Weird Science Theater, along with The Head (1959) and The Brain that Wouldn't Die (1962).
