(1948, aka THE GREED OF WILLIAM HART) Tod Slaughter, Henry Oscar, Jenny Lynn, Aubrey Woods. Tod's up to his maniacal tricks again in this grisly bodysnatching tale. Tod makes money selling corpses to a med- school. When demand grows, he decides to murder people for their bodies. Slaughter is delightfully wicked and really gets his just comeuppance at the end of the film! Inspired by the true-life Burke and Hare events. Transferred from a beautiful 35mm original print.
