Never happened to me. I must have been an ugly kid. :-(
I've looked at it over and over and I can't see how the heads were changed over.
Also it's interesting that the character called The Mutant played by Peter Strudwick was born with no feet and deformed hands because his mother caught rubella. His deformities are clearly visible in the film.
Maybe it's mostly "therapy-induced". Maybe lots of mental conditions are.

There are lots of humanoids with funny heads which is what passes for aliens in most space SF.
Just FF the boring lovey-dovey stuff.
They're showing this version currently in the UK on Sky Arts. The best stage version I've seen so far. Liam Neeson plays the reporter on screen and as some kind of hologram. Marti Pellow does his singing on stage. Liam Neeson narrates, starting with the "No-one would believe in the last years of the nineteenth century..." speech (which is on the original book).
My money is on Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964). Features a young Pia Zadora, painted green, playing a Martian child.
Yebbut the good German doctor sewed identical twins together which is a bit different.
This set of experiments wasn't all that much different from a good many psycho experiments. Remember the one where the subjects apparently gave electric shocks to people?
About the only objection is that the results were never published.
'Cause the original is really about a young girl saying and doing naughty things.
What a waste of two pretty ten-year-olds. No child behaves or gets away with behaving like they do. The adults aren't any more realistic. I know it's supposed to be a comedy. I know it's set in Canada. It's still bad.
Are you sure you aren't confusing it with a film called, um, Harlequin (1980) (Nothing to do with Dorian Gray)?
I expected the children to fly up in the air like in E.T. I feel cheated.
<blockquote>3) on two occasions he tells his young daughter to put her clothes on after she was seen nude outside. So, it turns out this is supposed to be comic relief, as became apparent when the daughter scolded her dad after by telling him to "wear clothes for dinner."</blockquote>It might not matter, but the child in question was a boy, Nai, played by Charlie Shotwell. (The two youngest are hard to distinguish or sex.)
Did they pay her less as she was shown in b/w?
I don't know whether Argentina was fascist or not, but, contrary to the description, none is shown in the film. Harsh uncaring orphanages are found in many types of regime.
Perhaps they should have called it by the original Russian title of "Meteoidiot". (Rainbows don't play much of a part in the film anyway.)
No, Snow White was a seven year old girl going to live with seven gnarly dwarves - at least that is the original version before the Disney 'maternal' one.
