The Man and the Monster ( Spanish: El hombre y el monstruo) is a 1958 Mexican horror film, directed by Rafael Baledón.
The film is about a pianist who sells his soul to the Devil in order to become the greatest pianist over the world. [1] But, every time a particular piece of music is played by him - Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky)- , he transforms into a murderous monster. [1]
According to the website Classic-Horror:
"Intelligently dubbed (it looks like they hired a translator AND a screenwriter), marvelously acted, and nicely directed, there's not a lot The Man and the Monster isn't, except, perhaps, expensive." [2]
