We need to keep these old classic movies alive. Thank you for sharing this one.
I remember as a kid in the 50s 60s and we would be laying in the floor late at night on Saturday nights , waiting for the Late Late Show would come on and we would watch the shows. Back then we would only get 3 channels and they would go off the air at midnight except for Saturday nights. When the late late show would come on and. We got to stay up till 2am on that night as long as we were quiet and didn't wake up our parents . ahhh the good ole daze I would go back to that time in my life in a flash if it was possible
Tom Patrick
Yup. I'd go back in a flash too. Little did we know back then that America was going to be a third world police state in a few decades! Boy oh boy, to have some freedom again. WELL WE'RE GONNA TAKE FREEDOM BACK!! YOU HERE ME, YOU COMMIE, SATANIC-WORSHIPPING, SPINELESS B@$TARDS!!!!
sounds like my childhood....1950s....
You are there in your mind.
Blonde Ice where are you so we can send help!?
You only got 3 channels? Where you live Vermont? We got channels 2,4,5,7,9,11 and 13. Duh!
You know every time I watch these old movies
It brings back memories I'm sitting on the floor with a bowl of cereal, with my mom sitting on the couch on a rainy Saturday where I couldn't go out and play . These old black and white horror movies bring back so many great memories.
Hopefully the younger generation will realize the difference between storyline,acting n the work that went into these movies without a ten, twenty or a 300 million budget. But , most importantly the actors 😁. I’m not against cgi. I’m against cgi being the storyline. “In my opinion “. 😂😂😂thank you tcm
we don't have actors like J. Carrol Naish anymore; he could play any character, good guy, bad guy, comedy, drama, any nationality, any accent, He was great.👍👍
Seeing this for the first time. Fun movie. Kinda campy, kinda disturbing. The cinematography is great - the use of shadows is tremendous !
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
I'm not saying Peter Lorre would have been better than 'J', but I could easily see him in the role, too. I almost do.
Oh yeah, or anytime for that matter
im only 28 but i like better the classic movies like this then the moderns..
I'm 27 and I was raised on the classics 1950s and before. Good childhood memories
You're an inspiration to your generation😀
@@justjeph6927 wow thank ya :DD
You have good taste. Some people live entire lives without it.😏
Thanks for upload. Love the old movies. Brings back fond memories.
Wonderful cinematography and movies. Old good times for this kind of art.
Man, I almost forget how much I love the music in these movies. How it sets the tone and the atmosphere; like, what's about to happen😮
Instead of making sequels/prequels, re-making The Hulk/Spiderman (every year) or re-releasing a new print of Star Wars, why don't studios remake some of these old classics and give them a new audience?
Because the studios stink at remakes.
@@carolesmith4864 your right.
They did and we got crap like Ghost Ship and Thirteen Ghosts. Be careful what you wish for.
@@anonymousandy4941 Good point.
I love the "laboratories" in these old movies. They just pour in something, whatever amount, and something is always bubbling.
Lol. Where would these movies be without bunsen burners?
The great character actor j. Carroll nash. Always reliable. Very good monogram B film. First shown in the Los Angeles area on jeepers creepers on channel 13 at 10 o clock Saturday night. Earlier Saturday night at was chiller on channel 11, and on channel 9 was strange tales of science fiction at 5 PM. So much fun. Always looking forward to Saturday night when your a kid. What memories.
I remember those programs from there as a kid.
Thanks for reminding me. I remember them all!
25 miles north of San Diego , we had to go on the roof & turn the antenna to get the 3 LA stations!!
,@@ghssauto
Excellent! thanks!
One of producers releasing corporation's (PRC) best b horror films. Good story, good acting with a very good cast . Morgan and nash are among the very best character actors in classic films.
The 1940ts must have been secret panel season in every movie.👍😆👋
Acromegaly is the disease Andre the Giant had same w/ the French Angel (The man who inspired the movie Shrek by marrying a beutiful woman despite looking like... well... an ogre! )
Interesting... acromegaly was used in the plot of Tarantula (1955) too.
Very well done film, not pretentious, direct and straight forward, compact and just right. One hour well spent.
Thanks for another great film.
The dog is the best!😻
"Acromegaly" is a disfiguring disease affecting the face, and extremities. Actors, Richard Kiel, and Rondo Hatton were so afflicted, and no- there's no cure. BTW, much as I love Naish, who the heck keeps a gorilla as a lab animal? Rhesus monkey mebbe...
Micheal Berryman while not suffering from Acromegaly is another actor that had an odd facial appearence yet like Kiel and Hatton he too was a respected and kind person.
People sure do faint a lot in these old movies...
Lol. I guess those lights were blazingly hot on set
When women would drop in a heartbeat!😂
A great movie for it's time.. Well done!
I've been looking for this!! Thank you for the upload
Thanks for posting that was well worth a watch
excellent movie, what a story
Favorite actor - Ace the Wonder Dog! Either an Oscar or Snausages.
STEVEN PLAYED BY MR.GLENN STRANGE HE ALSO WAS THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER IN ABBOTTN COSTELLOS CLASSIC COMEDY
And sam the bartender for miss kitty at the longbranch-gun smoke
And The mad monster with George Zucco.
Good old matinee flick on BW TV back in the day.
Love these Old Classics I am 60 next Month ; this is My Blood
Great movie, thanks for the download!!
Movie...Submarine 1928
Submarine columia in 1928
I'm use the women in these old movies being Fragile, but these two are just completely daft. But, I do love these old movies anyway. Thanks for posting.
Completely daft, not just partially?😉
great, thank you.
Never is a long time!
I love a good mad scientist movie!
These days, we call it stalking, and have legal penalties for doing it.
@6:29 Suddenly switching to German, DR. IGOR MARKOFF says: "Auf wiedersehen". Strange, since so far I did not think that was a German name but rather a combination of, say, Russian and Bulgarian. Well, well, Hollywood and its idea of Europe.
@David Daniel Ducker "Acromegaly is the disease Andre the Giant had same w/ the French Angel ...".
Acromegaly is also playing a decisive role in Jack Arnold's great sci-fi/horror movie Tarantula. I had never heard that special term before. So, Hollywood can indeed enhance one's general knowledge. (James Bond actor Richard Kiel has the symptoms.
@Dave Smith Well, the film was made in 1944 and the actual name of director Sam Newfield was Samuel Neufeld. Later, the Germans were quite OK again, and in 1963, JFK even took pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner". In 1969, former V2-experts from Peenemünde, Herr Wernher von Braun and Dr. Debus in particular, helped NASA reach the moon. Now, they have fallen from grace again, ever since Mr. Trump (who missed becoming one of those HERR Trumps from Rheinland-Pfalz, GERMANY, only by a narrow margin) started his economic war on the German car etc. industry.
The giant is Glen Strange; he played Sam the bartender in Gunsmoke
Elements of the Sherlock Holmes stories, The Adventures Of The Creeping Man, and The Dying Detective.
Dr Markoff....Not even a shadow of a pesky conscience left to gum up the progression of a B horror ...Love it....He earned the right to get that girl but of course the lesson in all these movies is..." Strong male initiative to secure rewards for one's lusty genitals through science and scheming usually leads to self destruction." Naughty Naughty.
Just checked--same actor Glenn Strange (but not the butler) He went by Giant.
The second best Frankenstein after Karloff.
Nice, I really enjoyed this movie.
One thing I love about old movies...the women were naturally beautiful. Now they wear so much makeup, they look like they're in drag.😒
Excellent ☺
Good old movie.
It would be great to see an old style monster movie in black and white today. The monster maker is a cheap low budget b enjoyable movie. So simple yet Hollywood today could never make it again this way. They would put too much money into it which would kill it's simplicity.
As a kid in the 50s I saw a lot of horror B-movies that used that gorilla gag - audiences were naive about primates in those days and they'd buy the idea that the great apes hunt and kill humans. I enjoyed this movie as a pretty good example of those old flicks but if it's ever remade the gorilla gag will have to be discarded and replaced with something at least marginally more plausible...unless the filmmakers play it for laughs.
thanks, Pizza, such an underrated movie ;-)))
wonderful acting by the dog, masterpiece :))
39 reviews in imdb !!!! 59 likes vs. zero dislikes !!!
what's wrong with us people?? :(( :))
ACROMEGALY?!
is this the magic word that makes this film so memorable? ;)
vocabulary! that's it! for the rest of our lives we'll know the meaning of this extraordinary word ! :)
I wonder how many of us knew that word before this film :-/
I also wonder how many of us think there is a chance
that sometime in the future we gonna use this word, say this word in a random conversation with someone...
How do you know it's underated?
@@keithharvey7230 Keith Harvey, the meaning of ";-)))" is 😉😉😉 or 😜😜😜. I didn't really mean it, it was a joke.
@@80sbeginner Its OK,its just that someone messaged,Boris Karloff was so underated .Who says anyone is underated who are these?Next it will be That Meryl Streep is so underated,nobody accepts her.Sorry if I sound a moaner.Its like people mistaking Ralph
Ha! I kant eevin spel or pernowntz it .
Baby your bush is raking the sand what am I looking at?
Pleasant. Worth seeing again.
Sam From Gunsmoke got clobbered.
Looked sober to me haha!
1944 jezzzz, what a si fi....
Pretty good Movie !
Who keeps acromegaly in a bottle?
🤔😇🤣😂😅
Thank you so much for sharing!
"FrankenstEEn"? "Eye-gor"?
"Walk this way"
Where-wolf.
4:17 The very first "Pull my finger".
Wish I was in the pink.
@Justin Collins feeling good

i love these old movies however this one just isn't my cup of tea .. good movie , well filmed , acting so so , plot just doesn't do it for me .. keep on putting these oldies up for us to watch..
Two! Two! Two offscreen head injuries in one film!
Servant looks just like the bartender (Sam?) in Gunsmoke, only I don't recall his being so tall.
The Gorilla seemed a bit fake in my opinion.
Looked like a guy in a gorilla suit 😂
That Dr. Markoff sounds like Peter Lorre. They must be from the same part of Germany.
That poor gorilla...innthat tiny cage where it can't even lie down and stretch out....that alone would make any animal go stir-crazy and want 2 break Out! Can't stand seeing the conditions of poor lab animals. That's the part of these e old monster movies that always upset me growing up. Now, "The BLOB" I could handle 👌
...entertanement that relax's..modern horror sucks. PEACE ALL < GRD
I've loved Naish since I first encountered him in 'Sahara', back in the 70s. In wiki, they tend to denigrate his Oscar nominated speech as "propaganda" but it was nothing of the sort. It was precisely what any foreigner living under oppression might express.
Love the old classic films
Watching from Atherton, Manchester, England
Good movie. Must have been written by a pianist. How wicked of Markoff to destroy the life of a performing artist. That Maxine restored him in the end was poetic justice.
Chopin's Revolutionary Etude in C minor. Difficult to play.
PRC: Hollywood's nickel-and-dime studio. And boy, it shows.
The piano tune in the beginning was once used in an episode of Abbott & Costello. Lou had to pretend to play the piano and, this was the tune.😊
most people dont realize it but dad is lying about how exhausting piano playing is
Tala Birell was one of the failed Garbo copycats of the '30s
I liked Dr. Renault secret with J. Caroll Nash.
13.26 shadow of overhanging microphone on wall to J.Carroll Naishs right.
The doctors help looks like the bartender from Gunsmoke
Ralph Morgan was Frank Morgan's brother.
Captain Morgan? (rum)
Nooo.
Poor poor Maxine; she could have done a lot better than that creep.
i love how awkward the exposition scenes are in these scripts
I love old horror films, but I can never watch this one...I feel so sorry for poor Ralph Morgan! Cheers, wsj
Good premise, the execution was a bit sloppy. I think another draft of the script would have helped a lot. Still worth a watch for horror fans though
David Daniel Ducker this movie has reached an age where it is no longer appropriate to critique it. You must simply enjoy this creation for the classic it is.
Might have been a nice touch if the assistant used the serum to trade for Susie-Lou's fiance. Yeah, yeah, hit him with a giant ashtray. Do it again, do it again, harder, harder.
I've seen all 50s and 60s going back a decade. Newer stuff some are crap.
@Justin Collins no I didn't mean to worry anyone stay safe don't worry hope we're going to get thru this time in the pink (in one piece) 🤗
Oh, que bonitas películas de suspenso, películas de muchos años que han pasado, que ni siquiera yo nacia todavía, jeje 🤣🤣 pero me encanta verlas. Esos tiempos de la televisión en blanco y negro, que tiempos
I'm fascinated by old black n white movies! We're transported, for a time, to another time...and we need the escape! 🌹
Acromegaly. Andre had it. Big show great kahli to lesser degree
From way back 1944 I look. Gotta ask, is this kit still on sale?
she cant handle any more flowers...
no conpre en santa isabel, que irrespetuosos
Watched
Igor was out of his mind.😂😂😂😂😂🤗
Still no cure for this disease .....
Loved it!! From the time when boys were boys and girls were girls...
And men where men!
@@gloriajacobs756 Absolutely!
Well....the assistant is really a man but yes she's graceful
So this is where it all started...
A very enjoyable movie.
A lot better than I was expecting. Not great, but a solid plot and the science was only slightly exaggerated.
badminton cure
How elegant they spoke back then. The father could have said F #! OFF
Donkey Kong ?
Good B movie
13:20 floods!!
