H-Man, The (Japanese Language Version) (1958)

aka's: Bijo To Ekitai Ningen/Beauty And The Liquidman/The H Man/
美女と液体人間

When a narcotics deal goes sour and a suspect disappears, leaving only his clothes, Tokyo police question his wife (Yumi Shirakawa) and stake out the nightclub where she works. His disappearance stumps the police – until a young scientist (Kenji Sahara) appears who claims that H-Bomb tests in the Pacific, evidenced by a “ghost ship” that has turned up in the harbor, have created radioactive creatures – “H-Men” – who ooze like slime and dissolve anyone they touch. (In Japanese language, with English subtitles).

This film came from a rare Japanese import print, which includes about 8 minutes of footage that was cut from the U.S. release.
