Of the three movies based on Curt Siodmak's novel Donovan's Brain (1944's The Lady and the Monster and 1963's Vengeance were the other two) this is the one that adheres most closely to the original's creepy story line. Lou Ayers stars as a scientist who keeps the brain of a ruthless, self-made millionaire alive in a tank. The brain begins to exert a strange influence over Ayres, as the once-gentle doctor begins to assume the personality of the cruel, vicious businessman. Read the complete review for Donovan's Brain
A scientist finds himself taking orders from the pickled brain of a ruthless millionaire. An unlikely premise, no question, but this melodramatic shocker is strangely compelling. Based on the novel by Curt Siodmak.
