Bigger Than Life

1956 95 min NR Drama

The story of the handful of hope that became a fistful of hell!

Ibsen's "A Doll's House" if Torvald took experimental steroids. A schoolteacher's prescription to combat pain spirals into psychosis, alienating his wife and son. James Mason's performance remains a benchmark for midcentury mania.

Directed by Nicholas Ray · Written by Richard Maibaum, Cyril Hume

Starring James Mason, Barbara Rush, Walter Matthau, Robert F. Simon, Christopher Olsen, Roland Winters
