  I'm madly in love with this movie and Peter Lorre! It's so beautiful and horrific all at once, very romantic. If you love old horror movies, you must see this one.

  This campy and highly melodramatic horror movie is notable as the American debut of Peter Lorre. This being the second adaptation of the Hands of Orlac story has a lousy title that sounds like a musical comedy which features Renee Zellweger. Fortunately, Mad Love happens to be about a man at loose ends and a mad man who happens to be a scientist. Filmed with sharp angles and vague lighting which should be expected from director Freund who worked as cinematographer on Metropolis and Dracula (1931). It's fun, creepy, and often hilarious. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=MAD_LOVE.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/MAD_LOVE.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

  Peter Lorre gives another wonderfully creepy performance as brilliant but off his rocker Dr. Gogol. He is in love with actress Yvonne Orlac (Frances Drake). She is married to a concert pianist (Colin Clive). When Orlac's hands are crushed in a train accident, Yvonne goes to him for help. His love for her (and his loose screws) persuade him to do some dastardly deeds that he hopes will ruin Orlac, both physically and emotionally, on the idea that Yvonne will leave her husband for Gogol. Soime really unsettling scenes, particularly when Gogol kisses Yvonne at her going-away party. Gets fewer stars than it should because the character, for comic relief I suppose, of the wisecracking reporter (played by Ted Healy, who I believe gave the Three Stooges their start) was out of place. Otherwise, well-done.

  muahahahahaha! peter lorre's first hollywood film is a remake of the german silent horror orlacs hande, in which a mad doctor grafts a murderer's hands onto a pianist. fantastic campy performance

• Greg S

  
  Demented surgeon Gogol (Peter Lorre) grafts new hands onto a concert pianist who is also the husband of the woman he loves. Trouble is, he chooses hands that once belonging to a murderer. Lorre's hammy yet tragic performance is the main attraction here.

• Lauren D

  
  I usually hate Peter Lorre, but I didn't mind him in this. I found it fairly 'meh' though. For a simple plot and a short film, it took a long time for things to happen.

• Marion R

  
  It felt like a foreign film as I just found out that it is a remake of a German film. Strange context and subject matter. A really cool film. Lorre is very good as the obsessed surgeon.

• Christopher B

  
  Peter Lorre is amazing in this quirky cult classic. Very fun.
