combination of science fiction and film noir
3 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- The Lady and the Monster, 1944. In a rural castle two medical men and a woman assistant are experimenting with brain chemistry and energy. After a airplane crash, they take a human brain of one of the victims to continue their work. The brain is of a criminal mind that gradually takes over the medical assistant's mind periodically to do more evil.

*Special Stars- Vera Ralston, Richard Allen, Erich Von Strohiem.

*Theme- Don't tamper with creation.

*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W. Film Noir.

*Emotion- An interesting combination of science fiction and film noir detective features prominently here. The male cast members overshadow the female lead and the plot has little for her to do to engineer the dramatic situations of this film. The disembodied brain element becomes secondary to the crime plot for this film.
