June 15, 2008Demented 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.

December 12, 2008It 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.

August 14, 2008This one's a lot of fun with Lorre!
I kind of like how at the end I assume that Mr.Orlac probably still goes around throwing knives at people after the credits roll because that really didn't get resolved did it?

September 9, 2006Some corrections: Isabel Jewell was not actually in the film, though her name appeared on the movie posters. Also, the film was released in 1935, not 1949.
