Here's a few interesting comments from All Sci-Fi member Phantom.

4D Man (1959)

I saw this in '59 and was really impressed by the idea of someone walking through solid objects.

Robert Lansing, one of my favorite "cold" actors holds the movie together. He is a major presence and a genuinely tragic figure, alternating between a determination for self-preservation and his tortured grief over the deaths he has caused.

Lansing was scheduled to appear at a showing of the movie in NYC in the eighties but was a no show. I wanted to tell him how much I appreciated his performance in the tv produced Life on the Mississippi, but I never got the chance.

The Patty Duke segment was particularly memorable, especially because her demise was off screen and all the more disturbing. Duke was already in rehearsals for the Broadway opening of The Miracle Worker, a mere two weeks after the opening of The 4D Man.

The jazz score, perhaps the most despised in sci-fi history, doesn't annoy me as much as it does everyone else. If it was an attempt to appeal to a younger, more hip generation, it failed miserably.

I'm not big on remakes, but this is one movie that could use another go around, especially after the evolutionary progress of fx in the digital age.

There is (if it hasn't been removed) a decent copy on YouTube, better than the awful vhs and dvd edition that was available for years.
