Depends if you fancy claustrophobic tension or apocalyptic weirdness.

It was made in 1932, before the Hays Office began strictly enforcing the Hollywood "code" in 1934, so the makers weren't constrained when it came to piling on the horror - and Charles Laughton is in terrific form. <br /><br />The Laughton film used to be available on YouTube, but seems to have been removed. All of the films mentioned in my two posts are currently available on YouTube - but hurry, because, eventually, all of these classics will disappear behind pay-walls.

Actually better in black and white.<br />I think Mr.G's nailed it. If I ever get a chance I'll try and watch one of them.

Am ashamed to say I haven't seen any of these films, but they feel very familiar. I was sure I had seen "The Testament of Dr Mabuse", but got it mixed up with " The Island of Dr Moreau" [or perhaps "Dr Findlay's Casebook"? I don't know.]<br /><br />Anyway, more titles for my "Must See" list . Many thanks.SDGnoreply@blogger.com
