mad love

| No Comments

August 13 movie: Mad Love. Very early Peter Lorre movie, one of his first, or maybe very first, in Hollywood. Lorre hadn't yet shaken his M typecasting: here he plays a bald, crazy genius doctor who's obsessed with an actress. The actress' husband, a concert pianist, is in an accident which crushes his hands. Lorre grafts an executed murderer's hands onto the husband, and you guessed it, he immediately develops evil hand issues. The movie is genuinely creepy at times, but mostly just silly.
