Mindbender and Altered States

[Iain Fisher]

Watching Mindbender again (still not recommended).  I noticed the camera operator is Alf Smith who is not listed under any other film, and given that Ken often used the name Alf Russell when he operated the camera, I guess it is Ken.

Also one of the characters says he is going to Mexico City to study hallucinogenic herbs used by the Hinchi tribesmen- this is what Eddie Jessup does in Altered States.
