The Man They Could Not Hang. 1939.
The second film in the recent Karloff at Colombia collection from Eureka. Personally I enjoyed this way more than the somewhat stodgy period histrionics of The Black Room.
Karloff plays a mad scientist type who is on the verge of finding a way to prolong life after death. Sound familiar?
The film sort of feels like a precursor to the Vincent Price movies, Theatre of Blood or the Dr Phibes films, with Karloff reeking vengeance from beyond the grave. I really liked it and after the frankly disappointing first movie in this new collection I'm pleased to say I'm looking forward to the rest.
