  DVD Review - 7 Faces Of Dr. Lao   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
"7 Faces of Dr. Lao," George Pal’s compassionate adaption of Charles Finney’s 1935 cult novel about a mystical circus and its effect on a small Western town, has always been my favorite George Pal film.
What surprises is not the unexpected turn of plot and story, but the gentle unfolding of life lessons that Lao offers the sleepy (in more ways than the obvious) town of Abalone.
As a companion disc to "Lao" and the other George Pal DVDs now available, I strongly recommend checking out Arnold Leibovit’s thorough documentary "The Fantasy Film Words of George Pal." The section on "Dr. Lao" offers the insight that the DVD unfortunately lacks.

 7 Faces of Dr. Lao DVD
In the Old West of the early 19th century, the mysterious Dr. Lao travels to Abalone, a small frontier town at the turn of the century, in the guise of a sage showman.
Lao masterminds a series of circus performances that reflect the conflict and inner turmoil of the Abalone townsfolk.
Since THE 7 FACES OF DR. LAO is a dialog driven film; the various foreign accents (mostly coming from Tony Randall) and Old West dialects are clearly rendered in the mix.

Lao, an elderly Chinese man who brings his strange circus to the small, dying town of Abalone, Arizona at the turn of the century (the 20th, that is).
But he's no less wonderful in his six other roles of Dr. Lao's circus attractions, most notably the elderly Merlin and the snake-haired Medusa.
Blessed with amazing make-up effects, which won artist William Tuttle a special Oscar, and some of Pal's marvelous effects (especially the monster that sprouts all seven of Lao's heads), Dr. Lao is a wonderful, one-of-a-kind fantasy film.
