The Lady and the Monster

About

“An entertaining ‘40s thriller” “Unfortunately titled, but it is a good film” “Not a bad little sci-fi thriller” (IMDB reviews quotes).

A malevolent millionaire’s brain is kept alive after his death. Which is fine and dandy until the brain starts controlling people. Good production values and a good cast -- that is with the exception of Vera Ralston. Remade in 1953 as “Donovan’s Brain” and in 1962 as “The Brain.” Save this sci-fi/horror for a dull Friday night when there is nothing happening on the cocktail party circuit. IMDB rating 5.6.

Produced and directed by George Sherman.

Released in 1944.
