Herschel Gordon Lewis is a stranger to subtlety, so don't expect a Noel Coward drawing room comedy while perusing How to Make a Doll. The hero, Robert Wood, is a nerdish professor. Unable to score with the ladies, Wood creates an army of female androids who'll never say no. How to Make a Doll was made just after Lewis' Just for the Hell of It, and just before The Psychic. By noting this, we do not mean to infer that the three films are on a par with Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life", or even Ford's "Cavalry Trilogy".
