(1934) Hans Albers, Brigitte Helm, Michael Bohnen, Ernst Kachow, Friedrich Kaybler.  This is a great early sci-fi thriller.  Albers (The Man Who was Sherlock Holmes) is terrific as the lone survivor of lab experiment for creating gold that was sabotaged by Bohnen, a power-mad industrialist.  Much later Bohnen persuades Albers to help him with his own gold experiments in a massive laboratory deep beneath the ocean—a laboratory filled with gigantic equipment and generators...

(1959, upgraded 8/31/23) Horst Frank, Michel Simon, Paul Dahlke, Herlmut Schmid, Christiane Maybach, Michel Simon. Another must-see film! A serum that keeps severed portions of the human body alive is used by a mad doctor on its own inventors decapitated head. Horst Frank, as Dr. Ood, is a total nut-job and gives what is easily one of the best mad scientist portrayals of the 1950s.  The insane purpose of his experiments is to give his hunchbacked nurse assistant a new body.  Creepy and atmospheric. A very gothic sci-fi horror film and one that we highly recommended. Please note that our version, which is completely uncut and in English, has the original U.S. Trans-Lux opening and closing titles.  From a beautiful 35mm print.
