Too Many Cooks

Dr Andrew Cook, inventor of a process for making living replicas of human beings, has unwittingly duplicated himself and becomes a secret weapon in the Solar System's struggle for economic survival against a powerful alien culture, the Sentients.

Directed by John Gibson, Too Many Cooks leans on a strong ensemble — Marius Goring, Paul Daneman, John Hollis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1966.
