Interesting facts

The Secret of the Telegian is a 1960 tokusatsu science fiction-horror and mystery film directed by Jun Fukuda, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. It is the second film in Toho's Transforming Human Series, after The H-Man (1958) and followed by The Human Vapor (1960).

Production

First written by Shinichi Sekizawa in 1959, Ishiro Honda was originally meant to direct this film, but he left the film to direct Battle in Outer Space (1959), which had been delayed due to the production of The Birth of Japan (1959), instead. In his place, Toho chose Jun Fukuda, who had previously acted as an assistant director on Rodan, to direct the film. Honda would go on to direct the third entry in the mutant Series, The Human Vapor.
