I was very young maybe 5 (I’m 55 now) but I remember getting up late at night and going to sit with my mom in the livingroom. She was watching an old movie about a man who is a surgeon who has to operate on his son to remove a key from his body that will unlock the chains and free him before acid or something gets through this is let loose all over him from this elaborate tubing system above him. It will pour onto his face if the surgeon doesn’t get the key out and move him in time. Any know this film?
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1970): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Abominable_Dr._Phibes: “Phibes tells him his son is under anaesthesia and prepared for surgery. Phibes has implanted a key near the boy’s heart that will unlock his restraints. Vesalius has to surgically remove the key within six minutes (the same time Victoria was on the operating table) to release his son before acid from a container above Lem’s head is released and kills him.”
Thank you! I googled this in so many ways and couldn’t find this!
No sweat! Enjoy the movie.
