How to Make a Doll

In a darkly comedic and satirical take on sci-fi, "How to Make a Doll" (1968) follows the unlikeliest of heroes: Professor Robert Wood, a socially awkward academic whose misfortune leads him down a twisted path of creation. With his talents as an engineer, he builds beautiful female robots - not for scientific discovery, but to satiate his own bizarre desires. This offbeat film is a product of its time, offering a glimpse into the anxieties and obsessions of 1960s America, though it's hard to separate fact from fiction.
