The kind of movies i use watch when i was young on holiday in bed at night when it was cold and raining outside. Brings back good memories. Thank you

I’m so glad that we were fortunate enough to have Boris Karloff. He was such a good actor and I think he was a nice man too in real life.

Bela Lugosi sounds like a vampire no matter who he is playing. Love it.

Today They don't make horror movies with amazing actors like Lugosi and Karloff

Thank you for posting this film without a boat load of commercials from KZfaq

Never heard of this movie. Just amazing. Fantastic writing, camera shots, and no gore. Thanks for posting.

I LOVE THESE OLD 1930'S AND 1940'S B/W CLASSICS FROM universal studios..

As a child and young adult, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, were in so many, what were then, scary and on-the-edge-of-your-seat movies. It was great to see them 60 years later although I was not on the edge of my seat. Amazing how the picture, sound, camera workmanship and skill were very well-preserved, sharp, artistic and innovative in the filming. Thank you.

Can't beat a good old Black and White with Karloff and Lugosi. Thanks for the upload.

That is actually a GREAT movie, with Boris Karloff n Bela Lugosi heading up an entertaining n whimsical murder mystery!!! I enjoyed it to the VERY end!!!! Thank you for posting!!!

I've watched every movie Karloff was in. He was the ultimate actor with a voice that I could listen to forever. Both he & Lugosi were magnificent actors! So happy these movies are still here to watch over & over....thank you!

What is there not to like about a movie from 1940 with Karloff and Lugosi?

This was magnificent!!! They can never make movies like this again!!! Boris and Bela are superb actors 😁!!;

Some of these old movie like this one you can't beat, for well written stories and the best actors and actresses.

Scientifically absurd but highly entertaining, a very fine screenplay by Siodmak and remarkable acting by Stanley Ridges. Thanks for posting.

I saw this movie over 40yrs ago when I was a teenager. This is a great movie with a flair of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde. Thanks for this.

I know what you mean. The viewer never feels claustrophobic because the cinematographer shoots mostly wide and there are lots of exterior shots. Close-ups are only used for dramatic purposes. This technique is common in the horror genre.

Just watched it again after a year or so. Even better. One of the Karloff greats. Thanks!

Great Acting and one of my Late Father's favourites and he never cared for Horror Films

Stanley Ridges should have received best actor award for his performance in this film.when I first saw this growing up in the 60's it took me a while to realize it was the same actor. Bravo Mr Ridges a perfect performance.

Good movie, such a joy to see a cast of so many veteran actors. Stanley Ridges played the professor. I looked up the movie and there are many excellent actors--so enjoyable. Thanks!😊

OMG, Sunny's apartment is DA BOMB!!! I especially love her hidden bar that opens up at the touch of a button!

Love these old movies!!! So simple, fun and a quick roller coaster ride in an hours time. Funny though, the scene where he's choking the girl (59:59), how is she screaming if he's choking her? LOL!

Thank you. Mr. Karloff was a great surprise! He really was a sweet , intelligent, sophisticated, gentler man.

WOW! Boris & Bela in the same movie. Don't miss this top-notch 1940 classic of Black Friday. Thanks Adam for this great find and upload for all.

This was a really great movie!! Thank you!!!

Very entertaining. Really enjoyed it. Great story and acting. Thank you for posting this. When movies were movies

Outstanding classic! Thank you!

Third time for me. I'm sure I'll be watching again some day. Ridges is fantastic. Thanks again,

Thank-You for posting this! Svengoolie is showing it soon, on MeTV as well!

Pretty good. I love these short black and white movies.

Bela Lugosi is just amazing in this film as the Hungarian cousin of Edward G. Robinson! Story (which I just made up now) has it that he and Humphrey Bogart traded each other for kicks, and Bogie landed in Return of Dr. X as the spook. And the other guy ain't bad either. What's his name? Stanley Ridges. Wonderful breakthrough performance. Bogie, Lugosi & Robinson, now that would have made some spectacular team! Thanks for the upload!

WONDERFUL MOVIE. THANKS A LOT.

It's great to see that Karloff and Lugosi kept working well after they were known for playing monsters and draculas. Couldn't really see their great talent playing monsters.

I've been a Boris Korlof fan all my life and now middle aged I've seen many of the old classic horror/thrillers, I own the movie packs for years and now use KZfaq for all of his series and shows. But this is one movie that didn't make any sense to me.

Thank you! Great collection of classics. Sometimes its good to walk on the darkside.

Thank you for posting this great film !

Anne Gwynne played the perennial Universal heroine, wide-eyed and innocent. Anna Nagel was also familiar to fans of Universal serials. She was the heroine in WINNERS OF THE WEST and the GREEN HORNET.

Nothin' better than Boris on a Friday afternoon! ~ Peace

A Superb performace by Stanley Ridges as Professor Kingsley / Red Cannon. This is a great Science Fiction / Noir motion picture.

This film is older than me by a year but it is a great film.Beats the modern ones

Boris Karloff looks so distinguished, and high class, it's a shame he didn't make any more movies looking like this. I do think he was looking similar in the movie " The Black Cat."

Loving the premise of this movie 💕

I don't need subtitles for old Hollywood movies. But I can't do avoid them in films nowadays.

Thanks for uploading this classic!

I just love how Kingsleys's hairstyle changed between his characters.

Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, what more do you need in a vintage film?

Terrific old film!!! Thanks for uploading!! i really enjoyed it.

Boris Karloff is such a very Hansom man !❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦

@19:02, he recites a line from Lord Tennyson's "The Brook".

I love the exciting graphics openings of these old movies

Upset about the critical acclaim that Bela Lugosi received for his portrayal as Ygor in Son of Frankenstein (1939), Boris Karloff refused to ever play the monster again, or to appear in another film opposite Lugosi, unless he was the star with the most screen time. This explains why Karloff appropriated the doctor role that was written specifically for Lugosi in this, their next major film, leaving the Astro-Hungarian to play a minor, American gangster part, and forcing script changes to remove references to the doctor's past in Vienna, since Karloff spoke with a British accent. It also explains their final pairing, with Karloff securing maximum screen time in The Body Snatcher (1945), while having Lugosi relinquished to a "barely there" janitor role.

grateful for excellent video quality--thank you

Magnificent!

Great Movie!

I guess some of you know that Karloff was originally slated to play Red with Lugosi in Karloff's part. The director wasn't satisfied with Karloff's performance as Red. So Ridges was brought in, Karloff was given Lugosi's role and Lugosi was demoted to his gangster part.

According to Wiki, this is a science fiction, gangster psychological thriller. Boy, I like that idea.

Great movie. Thanks for posting it !

Looking forward to this, more importantly thankyou so much for your podcasts, the research and production are supurb and I have reccomended them so often people think I have shares, The Warners story amd hitchcock episodes are just brilliant,

Great old B&W movie! Thanks for posting! :-)

Awesome movie. Thanks.

A good horror movie,and well acted by all involved. Brain transplantation,I have no doubt,has already been " in the works" by the " Powers that BE." Thank you,for showing this movie.

THIS IS A GREAT AND UNDER APPRECIATED FILM THIS ONE IS AWESOME.

What a beautiful voice Boris had.

One of my fav Karloff Lugosi movies even though Lugosi isn't in it much he playsthe part to the most as he always does. Karloff is his usual mad scientist nothingnew but good. Ridges plays the part of the professor turned gangster as good ashe did in Phantom Speaks which I think is a awesome movie. Too bad someone doesn't post that movie. I have on vhs and it's worn out. but this is a great movie.

TY for the upload, a fine movie :-)

Karloff, lugosi, and Vincent Price . The best...

It was odd to watch Bela Lugosi as a gangster...LOL. I enjoyed the movie nonetheless. I never get enough of these classic movies from the mid 1930s to late 1950s. Thanks so much for posting this!

You need an intro in your description so people know what it's basically about, and what genre it is.

Thank you AR, great film, I've liked and subscribed 👍

Cool movie! Love Boris Karloff. Thanks for sharing!

brilliant

I really like this movie, mainly because i really love Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. But i thought it was sad because of how torturous it was to the professor. He was so sweet, smart, and kind, gets a new teaching job, gets hit in the road, major brain transplant surgery, his own mind mixed with a ganster's, becomes completely confused, has breakdowns, gets better, then is shot and killed. WOW, that was a mouthful, and trajedous!

Kane was Paul Fix who was Sheriff Mica in The Rifleman!

EXCELLENT.MANY THANKS.

I really liked this movie, great story!

A must see movie! Handsome Boris Karloff and the unmistakable Bela Lagosi and other great actors . They will provide you with great entertainment in an unusual thriller. Most enjoyable!

Great movie!!!!

Another great Boris and company film. Thanks so much for posting.

Really quite good!

Amazing movie and acting

An excellent movie.

This is Stanley Ridges film!A great part for him.

Why would anyone think that putting a criminal's brain into a good man's body would "save" the good man's life. We are our brain's content.

Love Boris an Bela, thank you.
