the monster maker (1944)


"I just like seeing the dead return to life."
Dr Markoff (J. Carrol Naish), is your typical Mad scientist, who becomes infatuated with the daughter of a concert pianist, Patricia (Wanda McKay). But when she spurns his advances he decides on a different approach to win her affections. He injects her father with the acromegaly virus, which causes him to become hideously deformed, and promises a cure if she will marry him.
Cheap, but enjoyable b movie, but why does every mad scientist seem to have a pet gorilla?
