The Man with Nine Lives

_____

This is one of four "mad doctor" movies he did for Columbia between 1936 and 1940, all cheaply made but intriguing for their futuristic premise, artificial hearts, blood transfusions, cryogenics, resuscitating the dead and transposing brains from one body to another (science hasn't quite caught up to the last two yet).

Karloff may be a little weird in his methods in these films but left alone just might stumble onto a major discovery that actually works (deep freezing the human carcass). He doesn't go total bonkers until some interfering idiot (lab assistant, unimaginative cop, etc.) gums up the experiment and gets the patient killed.

So, we can't really fault his attitude when he is inevitably brought back from the dead and corpses begin to mount up around the town.

The Man They Could Not Hang and Before I Hang are on the Icons of Horror Boris Karloff dvd, The Man Who Changed His Mind and The Man with Nine Lives have their own discs.
