Synopsis

Industrialist François Delambre is called late at night by his sister-in-law, Helene Delambre, who tells him that she has just killed her husband, André.

when he is turned into the half fly creature he starts losing his mind and does manhandle his wife a few times when the fly is taking over and he uses loud knocking on the table and his height with aggressive pointing to get her to leave him alone and kill him so he does not harm anyone, she also yells at and shakes their son (not a baby) but the wife does not seem frightened of her husband now the child of either his parents

A guineapig is put in the transporter—this is animal abuse. It's not graphic, and the lil guy survives, but you can skip 00:45:30 to 00:45:25 to avoid it, you won't miss anything

i believe the other comments are referring to the 1986 film - as far as i could tell the 1958 film (which this page is for) had no vomit in it (but please correct me if i'm wrong)

Debatable. In the original Vincent Price movie the actor who turns into the fly realizes he must destroy himself since he can't be turned back and no one can know of his experiment. His wife helps him destroy himself and later it is deemed a suicide.

There is none in this version. The yes answers confuse this version with the 1986 version.

The bloody aftermath of a suicide by hydraulic press is seen: no gore, you see blood on the press itself and the body sticking out.
