The Manster (1959)

" When a reporter (Peter Dyneley) is injected with an experimental
serum by a crazed Japanese scientist (Tetsu Nakamura), he sprouts a
second head and begins terrorizing the streets of Tokyo. Can the
police -- or the mad scientist -- stop him before it's too late? Or
has an irreversible new phase in human evolution begun? Directed by
George Breakston and Kenneth G. Crane, this campy horror flick also
stars Jane Hylton and Jerry Ito. " - Netflix

Pure '50s B horror/monster/madscientist film. For the period and
likely budget the effects makeup is pretty good. The mixed Japanese/
American cast work better than you'd think. The Manster clearly
inspired several later American films (think anything with two heads).

It's also a fairly decent noir film, given the circumstances. There's
a scene with a dead body at night resting on a large gong-banger
that's quite impressive.
