Hikáyede Robinson'un peşini bırakmaya niyetli olmayan kahraman bir dedektif de yer almakta. Orson Welles'in dar bir bütçeyle kotardığı ama heyecanı fazlasıyla verdiği sıkı bir kara film. ‘‘Bir Naziden başka kim, Karl Marx'ın Alman olduğunu inkar eder... Karl Marx'da bir Yahudi değil miydi?’’ gibi Orson Welles'e ait ince zekanın ürünü repliklerin yer aldığı film, ‘‘En İyi Özgün Senaryo’’ dalında Oscar'a aday gösterilmişti.

Film6.2TV MovieDramA darkly comic fable about vanity and desire, "The Fountain of Youth" follows a newly married couple whose relationship is destabilized by the arrival of a potion that promises centuries of youth and beauty—but in a quantity sufficient for only one person. As temptation and resentment grow, the gift becomes a catalyst for moral and emotional collapse. Written, directed, and narrated by Orson Welles and based on John Collier’s short story “Youth from Vienna,” the film uses stylized narration and experimental visual techniques to construct a compact essay on human vanity. (Note: Originally produced in 1956 as a television pilot and broadcast once in 1958 as part of NBC’s Colgate Theatre anthology series (S1E5); it later achieved independent archival and cultural status, including a 1958 Peabody Award.)

Heavyweight champion Joe, after knocking out an opponent who later died in his dressing room, feels responsible and threatens to give up boxing. But the dead fighter's fiance thinks he died as the result of a drug that was given to him by a gang of gamblers, who made a rich haul betting on Palooka. Joe, Knobby and the police unite to run down the gamblers, but not before Joe also is nearly murdered by the same means...a poisoned mouthpiece. Elyse Knox is along as Joe's sweetheart Anne Howe, although Anne and Joe had long been married in the comic strip.
