None of the previous reviewers seem to have noticed the real similarity between 6 Hours and The Walking Dead (Boris Karloff 1936). Both Baxter and Karloff are innocents who are killed, resuscitated in a modernistic laboratory, know things no human should know, revenge their deaths, and die peacefully. The major difference is that 6 Hours is played for romance, while Walking Dead, for horror. Not to say 6 Hours doesn't have horror touches, but these are subservient to the story. This is a first class production, with the best revival chamber of the 1930s. The actors are excellent. The story is slow and the cinematography tries too hard to be spiritualistic, instead becoming difficult to see. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a direct link between the screen plays of the two films.
