| | Torgo - Behind Manos |
 | | For many years, Manos: The Hands of Fate must have been the Holy Grail for aficionados of obscure, low-budget, really godawful cinema: seldom mentioned, hardly ever seen, exactly the kind of movie that, yes, a fertilizer salesman named Hal P. Warren would decide to make, one fine summer in 1966. |
 | | As for the Master's 'wives', they were recruited from a local modeling agency, Fran Simon's Mannequin Manor. |
 | | Betty Pierce, the movie reviewer for the El Paso Times, was particularly taken with the climax, in which, she headlined, Torgo is "Massaged to Death," although she also claimed to see Torgo as the film's Existential Hero. |
