Lane Chandler, born in 1899, was an American actor who carved a niche in the cult film landscape with his performances in Creature with the Atom Brain (1955) and One More Train to Rob (1971). His early years on a horse ranch in California led him to a career in Westerns, where he often played the reliable sidekick or sheriff. As the film industry evolved, Chandler transitioned into supporting roles, including notable appearances in Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940). His extensive work in both film and television, particularly in Western series, solidified his status in the genre.
Creature with the Atom Brain
Murders, with victims dying from spines broken by brute strength, erupt in the city and the killers, when encountered, walk away unharmed by police bullets which strike them. A police doctor's investigation of the deaths leads to the discovery of an army of dead criminal musclemen restored to life, remotely controlled by a vengeful former crime boss and a former Nazi scientist, from the latter's laboratory hidden in the suburbs.
