Interesting facts

  • Based on: Four Sided Triangle

Four Sided Triangle is a 1953 British second feature ('B') science-fiction film directed by Terence Fisher. It was written by Paul Tabori and Fisher, adapted from the 1949 novel by William F. Temple. It stars Stephen Murray, Barbara Payton, John Van Eyssen and James Hayter. It was produced by Hammer Film Productions at Bray Studios from August to September, 1952, and foreshadowed Hammer's later entrance into horror and science fiction. The story concerns two scientists who invent a replication machine and duplicate a woman. J. Elder Wills was the art director.

Production details

Four Sided Triangle was an early effort by Hammer Films. The laboratory set includes "a welter of retorts, alembics, rheostats and plain, old neon tubing". This chaotic, improvised laboratory setting has been contrasted with the sophisticated labs portrayed in the Universal Horror films of the 1930s. The film relies on a minimum of trick photography and special effects, which may have been compromised by its limited budget.

Filming over two days of the five-week schedule took place at Lulworth Cove in August 1952 and was photographed by George Douglas for Picture Post.
