Mad Love (also released as The Hands of Orlac) is a 1935 American body horror film, an adaptation of Maurice Renard's novel The Hands of Orlac. It was directed by German-émigré film maker Karl Freund, and stars Peter Lorre as Dr. Gogol, Frances Drake as Yvonne Orlac and Colin Clive as Stephen Orlac. The plot revolves around Doctor Gogol's obsession with actress Yvonne Orlac. When Stephen Orlac's hands are destroyed in a train accident, Yvonne brings them to Gogol, who claims to be able to repair them. As Gogol becomes obsessed to the point that he will do anything to have Yvonne, Stephen finds that his new hands have made him into an expert knife thrower.

Mad Love was Freund's final directorial assignment and Lorre's American film debut. Critics praised Lorre's acting, but the film was unsuccessful at the box office. Film critic Pauline Kael found the film unsatisfactory, but argued that it had influenced Citizen Kane. Cinematographer Gregg Toland was involved in the production of both films. Mad Love's reputation has grown over the years, and it is viewed in a more positive light by modern film critics, gaining the status of a cult classic.

00:00:44♪♪
00:00:59No, I won't.
00:01:20Let's get out of here.
00:01:21There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:01:23When I go out to a play, I want to have some fun.
00:01:26You bring me to a place like this, where they make you scream
00:01:29and faint.
00:01:30But it's a fillip to jaded nerves.
00:01:31It's a new shutter.
00:01:32Well, if that's the kind of a man you are, you can take me home.
00:01:35Oh, now, wait a minute, darling.
00:01:36You've got it all wrong.
00:01:39Flowers again.
00:01:42A gentleman of the old school, Marie.
00:01:44Old and new, they all try the same things.
00:01:47Tonight I'm sad.
00:01:48For no longer will I be able to watch you every evening from my lonely, shadowed box.
00:01:52And no signature.
00:01:53A man can't take the same box every night for 47 nights without the whole theater knowing
00:01:58who he is.
00:01:59Gogol.
00:02:00Nasty, foreign-sounding name.
00:02:01That was very mean of you.
00:02:02You ought to be ashamed of yourself, making fun of a famous man like Dr. Gogol.
00:02:06Well, if he's so famous, what's he doing hanging around here all the time?
00:02:10Why, Marie, my public.
00:02:12No, he really is a great surgeon.
00:02:14He cures deformed children and mutilated soldiers.
00:02:17Soldiers?
00:02:18I wish he'd fix one up for me.
00:02:22Your usual box, Professor?
00:02:24Will you do me a favor?
00:02:25Of course.
00:02:26Call Dr. Wong at my clinic and tell him I'll be there before midnight, will you?
00:02:30Most happy, Doctor.
00:02:53Beautiful.
00:02:55Beautiful.
00:02:59I've been meeting you in dreams all my life, standing just like that.
00:03:06You know me.
00:03:08Raoul, your own little cabbage?
00:03:11Stick your hands off.
00:03:15Why didn't you warn me, my dear?
00:03:19My card, monsieur.
00:03:21I'm perfectly willing to give you satisfaction.
00:03:24Don't be a fool.
00:03:26And don't you be jealous, my friend.
00:03:31She's not for either of us.
00:03:33She's only wax.
00:03:44Good evening, Doctor.
00:03:49What time is it?
00:03:51Just on the hour.
00:03:54What number's the station?
00:03:56Madame, I only told you four times tonight.
00:03:5912.50.
00:04:01After I was married a year, I remember things like radio stations.
00:04:05And forgot my husband.
00:04:07Continuing our concert from Fontainebleau, we shall now hear one of the most brilliant
00:04:11younger English pianists, an artist with a great future.
00:04:14How about mentioning that he's married to an artist with a great future?
00:04:17Not a worry.
00:04:18He didn't hear you.
00:04:19He's a composer of talent.
00:04:21Quentin, call Madame.
00:04:23For the first time on any concert stage, an original composition of Monsieur Orlac.
00:04:27His enviable reputation for purity of tone and brilliance of technique.
00:04:32Monsieur Orlac is now on the platform.
00:04:36Curtin, call Yvonne.
00:04:37Oh, yes, Charles.
00:04:38You listen, Marie.
00:04:39You know the signal.
00:04:40If he coughs twice, it means I love you.
00:04:51Sir, how dare you threaten your Duchess with torture?
00:05:00The Duke.
00:05:01You see my warrant.
00:05:03You only have one question to answer.
00:05:06Who's the man who escaped from your balcony in the palace?

00:07:46Madame Yvonne, would it be possible...
00:07:53Come in.
00:08:02Oh, it's you, Dr. Coco.
00:08:22You know me?
00:08:23We all know you.
00:08:24You've kept the theater running by buying that box every night.
00:08:27Won't you come in?
00:08:31Thank you so much for all the lovely flowers.
00:08:35Every night I have watched you, and tonight, the last night,
00:08:39I felt I must come and thank you for what you've meant to me.
00:08:43Oh, I'm very flattered, Doctor.
00:08:45And when the theater reopens, I shall be in my box again.
00:08:50Every night.
00:08:51I do hope so, for the theater's sake.
00:08:53I won't be here, I'm afraid.
00:08:55Oh, you are playing somewhere else?
00:08:57Never again.
00:09:00Never again?
00:09:01No.
00:09:02I'm going to England with my husband.
00:09:05Your...
00:09:08Your husband?
00:09:09Yes.
00:09:10That's he playing now from Fontainebleau.
00:09:12Stephen Orlac.
00:09:13I'm meeting his train tonight.
00:09:15Stephen Orlac.
00:09:16How do you think he plays?
00:09:18That's his own composition, you know.
00:09:20Very modern music.
00:09:22We've been married a year, but he's been on tour,
00:09:24and I've been busy with the theater.
00:09:26So, you see, this is really going to be our honeymoon.
00:09:29You know, I've come to depend on seeing you every night.
00:09:33But, uh, I'm going to England.
00:09:36But I must see you again.
00:09:38I must.
00:09:43Yvonne, we're all waiting. Hurry!
00:09:47Dr. Gogo, why not join our party?
00:09:50You represent our public. Come on!
00:09:56Use it or shoot it!
00:10:12A wedding cake for the bride who's been married a year.
00:10:14Who hasn't been on a honeymoon yet.
00:10:16What am I bid for the first slice?
00:10:17A kiss for the bride.
00:10:18Sold!
00:10:27I want to kiss the bride, too.
00:10:31One kiss, one piece of cake for each.
00:10:33I'm next.
00:10:37Doctor!
00:10:38No champagne, no cake, and no kiss.
00:10:42Come along. Yvonne! Yvonne!
00:10:47Don't forget our public.
00:10:48Oh, Dr. Gogo.
00:10:57Oh, that a boy, Doc.
00:11:02That's a good one. Oh, I wish I had one like that.
00:11:10Who's next?
00:11:11I'm next.
00:11:14How about me? How about me?
00:11:27Where are you taking that figure?
00:11:29To the melting pot.
00:11:30Melting pot?
00:11:31Yes, 50 francs of wax in that thing.
00:11:33And no doubt you'd take 75 for it, would you?
00:11:37What's the idea?
00:11:39Did you ever hear of Galatea?
00:11:41Gala who?
00:11:43Not wanting a statue of him, are you?
00:11:45I don't want a statue of Galatea.
00:11:47You see, she was a statue herself.
00:11:51Pygmalion formed her.
00:11:53Pygmalion formed her.
00:11:55Out of marble, not wax.
00:11:58And...
00:12:01Then...
00:12:04She came to life.
00:12:07In his arms.
00:12:09Start the motor, Henry.
00:12:11There's queer people on the streets of Montmartre at this time of night.
00:12:15Here, 100 francs if you deliver the statue to my house.
00:12:19It's a go, Dr. Go...
00:12:21Gal, first thing in the morning.
00:12:23Good morning.
00:12:24Let's go.
00:12:25Let's go.
00:12:51Monsieur, 20 francs extra for the dog and the van.
00:12:54Of course, monsieur, the guard.
00:12:56You will keep my confidence.
00:12:58Well, if my silence is worth 20 francs to you, buy it.
00:13:02I'm hungry.
00:13:25Who is that man?
00:13:26Rallo, the murderer.
00:13:28Rallo?
00:13:30You read the case, monsieur?
00:13:32The American threw knives in a circus,
00:13:35stuck one in his father's back because of a woman.
00:13:38He was convicted last week.
00:13:42You see, I told you, he was a murderer.
00:13:45He's a murderer.
00:13:46He's a murderer.
00:13:47He's a murderer.
00:13:48He's a murderer.
00:13:49He's a murderer.
00:13:50He's a murderer.
00:13:51He's a murderer.
00:13:53He's an autograph.
00:13:56I have here autographs of 100 famous persons
00:14:00and not a single murderer.
00:14:02May I use your pen, monsieur?
00:14:12Excuse me.
00:14:13Come on in, fat boy.
00:14:15Don't you stick your nose in hair.
00:14:17Or you might get it pinched.
00:14:18Give a guy a break.
00:14:19You birds won't gab with me.
00:14:21I followed your case in the papers.
00:14:23Yeah? But once I got top billing, boy, I better burn those guys in a circus.
00:14:28How did you happen to become such a great expert at knife throwing?
00:14:31Practice. Learned to toss a penknife when I was six.
00:14:34Run away with a circus at ten and made my living with a knife.
00:14:37May I have your autograph?
00:14:39Sure, give me.
00:14:42Hey, you can't talk about it like that.
00:14:44I love that dame, even if she did two-time me.
00:14:47The pen!
00:14:54Well, old hands can still do their stuff, eh?
00:15:00What do you want here?
00:15:02This happens to be my pen.
00:15:04Well, take it and get out.
00:15:07What about that call for Dr. Gogol?
00:15:09They're still trying to get him. Here's the American journalist you sent for.
00:15:12Hiya, kid.
00:15:14Hello, Chief.
00:15:16I'm Steve Regan. You're the gentleman who's going to cover this execution?
00:15:19Yeah, I wish they'd cover it so I can't see it.
00:15:21You know, I've got a weak stomach.
00:15:23This robbery was a big one, wasn't it?
00:15:25Yeah, it was a big one.
00:15:27It was a big one.
00:15:29It was a big one.
00:15:31It was a big one.
00:15:33It was a big one.
00:15:35What's wrong with your stomach?
00:15:37This rollo is an American.
00:15:39Yes, that's why I make a good story for our paper.
00:15:41The fact is, we're anxious to avoid undue sensationalism in the American papers.
00:15:44Oh, I know what you mean. I'll use a soft pencil.
00:15:47Thank you. And if, as you say, your nerves are a little weak, I suggest you bring a flask of cognac.
00:15:51No, gin, Chief. Gin for executions, beer for birthdays, wine for weddings, and champagne.
00:15:55Oh, champagne.
00:15:57For what?
00:15:59You ask that, and you're a Frenchman?
00:16:01Dr. Gogol, clinic on the wire.
00:16:03her first natural sleep in weeks.
00:16:06Poor little thing.
00:16:09Tomorrow you can take the boards out from under her.
00:16:12Telephone for you, Professor.
00:16:13Don't disturb me now.
00:16:17The brace will give sufficient support.
00:16:19Yes, Professor.
00:16:20But it's the Prefect of Police himself.
00:16:22He insists.
00:16:23Oh.
00:16:27Yes, Monsieur Rosset?
00:16:30Yes?
00:16:32Rolo?
00:16:34Tomorrow at six?
00:16:36Of course, I'll be there.
00:16:43Is that Dr. Gogol, the famous surgeon?
00:16:44You're very inquisitive.
00:16:45Well, it's my job to be inquisitive.
00:16:47And what if I get him to write some articles for our newspaper?
00:16:49You'll see him at the guillotine. Why not ask him?
00:16:50Good idea.
00:16:51Oh, Rolo's train gets in from Fontainebleau in 20 minutes.
00:16:54Like to come to the station with me?
00:16:55By cycling. A welcome train and a farewell party rolled into one.
00:16:58Ha, ha.
00:17:02Hey, Chief, let's get out of here.
00:17:03This thing's a Turkish band.
00:17:07Can you please tell me when the Fontainebleau Express will arrive?
00:17:09Go ahead and tell her, Chief.
00:17:10No one seems to know, Madam.
00:17:12It's 20 minutes late already.
00:17:14Hey, Chief, look!
00:17:16What's the matter? Is this whole town going crazy?
00:17:20Wrecked!
00:17:21Number 18 is wrecked!
00:17:27What train is wrecked?
00:17:28Sorry, Madam, I can't give any information.
00:17:30Then give it to me.
00:17:31Fontainebleau Express, Miss Elizabeth Faye.
00:17:34Is it serious?
00:17:35I don't know, Madam.
00:17:36Where was it?
00:17:37Near Gironde, 20 miles out.
00:17:39Relief train leaving on track nine.
00:17:41Can I see him a minute?
00:17:42I want you! I want you!
00:17:44Please, please, may I go with the relief train?
00:17:46Sorry, Madam, it's against orders.
00:17:47Come on, we'll get a taxi.
00:17:48All right. Come on, everybody.
00:17:49I want to get in the subway!
00:18:00Help!
00:18:01Help!
00:18:02Help!
00:18:28Leave him!
00:18:30Oh, help me, please! Please, help me!
00:18:33Help me, somebody! Please, help me!
00:18:42Well, Doctor?
00:18:43Your husband will live.
00:18:44Oh, my damn, what joy!
00:18:45The head injury is not serious.
00:18:47It's only his hands.
00:18:49Only his hands?
00:18:51I'm afraid we shall have to amputate.
00:18:53Oh! Amputate!
00:18:55No, no! No, Doctor, you don't understand!
00:18:57His hands! He's a great pianist!
00:18:59But even so, madame, what are hands when it's a matter of saving life?
00:19:03But his hands are his life!
00:19:05Excuse me, madame, Dr. Gogol.
00:19:07Oh, no, not that man.
00:19:08But he's a genius, madame.
00:19:09And if it means Monsieur Stephen's life?
00:19:12Yes.
00:19:14Yes!
00:19:15Doctor, Doctor, can you get an ambulance to take my husband to Paris?
00:19:18To Dr. Gogol's house, immediately!
00:19:20But, madame!
00:19:20I know the risk. I'll take the responsibility.
00:19:22Dr. Marble, there are two operations waiting.
00:19:25As you wish, madame.
00:19:30Greatest of the day.
00:19:32Oh, all right, all right.
00:19:34I'm coming, I'm coming.
00:19:36Oh, bring your head up. All right.
00:19:38There.
00:19:40Hello?
00:19:42Hello?
00:19:43Yes.
00:19:44This is the Professor Gogol's housekeeper.
00:19:47Yes.
00:19:48Well, the Professor isn't here.
00:19:53If you want to know, he's visiting Madame Guillotine.
00:19:58He never misses one of those head-choppings.
00:20:14Attention!
00:20:16Present arms!
00:20:18Attention!
00:20:23Say, Chief, I barely made this.
00:20:26You know, they had me in the jug.
00:20:27They said I insulted one of those gendarmes at the wreck.
00:20:29Quiet, Monsieur Regan, if you please.
00:20:31Okay.
00:20:40Boy, ain't that something!
00:20:52He's an American, ain't he?
00:20:54Can I ask him a question?
00:20:56Hiya, buddy.
00:20:56Hiya, partner.
00:20:58Tough luck, kid.
00:20:59We all get it in the neck someday.
00:21:01Say, tell me something, will you?
00:21:02Anything you want to know.
00:21:04Well, I'm from Las Vegas.
00:21:05And I hear they finished the big dam.
00:21:06Biggest in the world.
00:21:07And it's making a lake 200 miles long.
00:21:10It's the gospel truth, kid.
00:21:11Well, what do you think of that?
00:21:16So long.
00:21:18Come on.
00:21:26Mmm.
00:21:38Oh!
00:21:39Oh!
00:21:40Mmm.
00:21:44Oh.
00:21:46Not ill, my friend, are you?
00:21:48Oh, Doc, on the level.
00:21:49I'm as sick as a bed bug.
00:21:51Come here a minute.
00:21:52Say, how would you like to make a couple of bucks
00:21:53by writing some articles for the magazine section
00:21:55of our paper back in New York?
00:21:56Why, buy articles about me.
00:21:58You can get all you want from the medical journals.
00:22:00Now, wait a minute.
00:22:00Who reads the medical journals?
00:22:02The stuff I want is the stuff you do,
00:22:03you don't put in the journal.
00:22:04You catch on?
00:22:05And I'm not interested in your publicity, young man.
00:22:08Well, Doc, you want to make a couple of dollars, don't you?
00:22:10Chief, will you talk?
00:22:11Oh, I hate that murder.
00:22:26Suzanne?
00:22:31Yes, professor?
00:22:32Quite a tambalance.
00:22:33I ordered no case here for experiment.
00:22:35They brought a man whose hands were smashed
00:22:36in the Fontainebleau wreck.
00:22:38What man?
00:22:39What wreck how dare you let people turn my clinic
00:22:40into a public hospital?
00:22:41But Doc, you want science.
00:22:43Argentina doesn't prevent science.
00:22:45Of course it prevents science from murder.
00:22:49They brought a couple of people here,
00:22:50and now people are saying they've seen a man
00:22:51that was handcuffed in his own cell,
00:22:52and they're behind bars for killing and libel harassment,
00:22:54But, Professor, his wife brought him, a Madame Orlac.
00:22:58What?
00:23:00She said you were her friend.
00:23:03Where is he?
00:23:04In the ward with Dr. Wong.
00:23:10Oh, has he come yet?
00:23:12Yes, he's with your husband.
00:23:13Oh, thank heaven!
00:23:17Prepare for amputation.
00:23:25Doctor! His hands! Can you save them?
00:23:29Calm yourself, Madame. He's in no danger.
00:23:33There are other outlets for musical talent besides playing.
00:23:37He's also a composer.
00:23:41I understand.
00:23:44You mean to amputate.
00:23:55And I believed you would save them.
00:23:58Believed you would help me.
00:24:00If it would help, I'd gladly give my own two hands, but...
00:24:05All right, then.
00:24:08Now you must rest.
00:24:10And when you're awake, everything will be over.
00:24:14If I could only help her.
00:24:18If I could only find a way.
00:24:22There must be a...
00:24:24Impossible, Professor.
00:24:29Impossible?
00:24:30Impossible.
00:24:32Napoleon said that word is not friendly.
00:24:36It's a curse.
00:24:38Impossible.
00:24:40Napoleon said that word is not friendly.
00:24:44Suzanne! Suzanne!
00:24:46Call the prefect of police. Get the prefect to himself.
00:24:49Emergency call. Stop the anesthetic.
00:24:55Stop the anesthetic.
00:25:02Of course I want to help you, Dr. Gogol, but I've got to get a release.
00:25:06Don't worry about it. I'll have Rollo's body at your clinic within 30 minutes.
00:25:11Good luck with your experiment.
00:25:36THE END
00:26:06THE END
00:26:31Increase the carbon dioxide.
00:26:34Congratulations, Professor. You've done it.
00:26:38Once I felt the blood pulsing through the hands,
00:26:41I knew the operation would succeed.
00:26:46Good night, Professor.
00:26:47Good night.
00:26:53Whatever made him bring you here?
00:26:57There's never been any woman in this house but me.
00:27:04We must have a mirror.
00:27:06I prefer live ones to dead ones.
00:27:10Françoise.
00:27:12Oh, yes, Monsieur Professor.
00:27:14Pretty, isn't she?
00:27:16Get out.
00:27:33THE END
00:27:52Hello, how are you?
00:27:53Who are you?
00:27:54You can't talk to a gentleman like that.
00:27:57Isn't she pretty?
00:27:58I have a parrot of my own.
00:28:00What do you want?
00:28:01I've got to see Dr. Vogel. It's a very important matter.
00:28:03Nobody comes in here.
00:28:04Come here, come here, Queenie. Lookie here.
00:28:06Now, there's a 50-franc note.
00:28:08I'll give it to you if you answer me one question.
00:28:10Now, they brought a stiff in here.
00:28:12What did he do with it?
00:28:13Oh, I don't know.
00:28:15He's upstairs fussing over it now.
00:28:18Oh, there's your answer. Now get out.
00:28:20Shh.
00:28:21What did they do with the head?
00:28:22Playing football with it?
00:28:24The head?
00:28:25Yes, the head's off. I saw it come off myself.
00:28:29Well, the head was on when they carried it in here.
00:28:32Are you sure of that?
00:28:33I'm sure of it.
00:28:35Holy jumping catfish, what's going on in here?
00:28:38Now, now, you can't come in here.
00:28:39Do you want me to lose my job?
00:28:41Come here a second, will you please?
00:28:58Reality.
00:29:17But I am no pygmalion.
00:29:29The face of all the world is changed, I think,
00:29:34since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul.
00:29:43Guess now who holds thee.
00:29:46Death, I said.
00:29:48But there,
00:29:51silver hands o'erhang,
00:29:55not death,
00:29:57but love.
00:30:06You know, it was wonderful having you to myself all these months.
00:30:11You're a selfish little thing, aren't you?
00:30:14Look.
00:30:16Spring in Paris.
00:30:28I feel so helpless.
00:30:30Never mind. You won't have them much longer.
00:30:57They... they feel dead.
00:30:59They will for a time.
00:31:01You see, the muscles are atrophied at present from lack of use.
00:31:05But they...
00:31:07they don't look like mine.
00:31:09You forget, they were badly crushed.
00:31:11Alcohol.
00:31:17No one in the world but you, Doctor, could have performed this miracle.
00:31:20We can never repay you.
00:31:22I had to find a way because you trusted me.
00:31:26We can't possibly express our gratitude.
00:31:29Don't. Please.
00:31:34Now try to move your fingers.
00:31:38There. Splendid.
00:31:42Well, I began playing the piano with one finger.
00:31:45I can start that way again.
00:31:47Of course, there's still much to be done.
00:31:49You will need some regular massage,
00:31:51some ultraviolet treatments,
00:31:53graduated exercise.
00:31:55I am afraid it will prove a long and expensive business.
00:32:25I am afraid it will prove a long and expensive business.
00:32:27I am afraid it will prove a long and expensive business.
00:32:53You're an angel.
00:32:55You know we'll pay you just as soon as Monsieur Stephen is well again.
00:32:58I understand, madame.
00:33:25I used to play rather well once, didn't I?
00:33:28And you will again, dear.
00:33:30No, not with ease.
00:33:32Wonderful invention, the phonograph.
00:33:34Keeps a man alive long after he's dead.
00:33:36Please, don't say things like that, darling.
00:33:39Sometimes I feel that these records
00:33:41are all that's left of Stephen Orlack.
00:33:43All of Stephen Orlack is left.
00:33:45His tenderness, his genius,
00:33:48and his arms.
00:33:50And I'm sure he'll never forget them.
00:33:53And his arms.
00:33:55The arms that hold me close to him.
00:34:00Oh, forgive me, darling,
00:34:02for thinking so much of myself.
00:34:04More practice. That's the answer.
00:34:06Yes, that's it. More practice.
00:34:08Oh, but if it weren't for these money troubles,
00:34:11I know what you're doing, selling everything.
00:34:13Even your rings.
00:34:15Oh, Yvonne, I'm so sorry.
00:34:17We'll be all right.
00:34:19Yes, of course we will.
00:34:21Stephen, I know how proud you are,
00:34:24but why don't you go to your stepfather?
00:34:31No. No.
00:34:33I swore I'd never see that man again.
00:34:35But darling, this is an emergency. Surely...
00:34:37It wouldn't mean a thing to him.
00:34:39Have we heard one word from him since my accident?
00:34:42No. I tell you, darling, it isn't a question of pride.
00:34:45Then don't go. We'll manage somehow.
00:34:48You have no right to force your way in here.
00:34:50The piano is still our property till the loan is paid.
00:34:55Sorry, madame. He pushed his way past me.
00:34:57I want my money.
00:34:59But, monsieur, we really intend to pay you.
00:35:01I want my money, or I'll take the piano.
00:35:03But you can't take it. It means everything to my husband.
00:35:06So you can't pay, eh?
00:35:08Very well. I'll return tomorrow with a court order.
00:35:18This happens to be my pen, gentlemen.
00:35:49Monsieur Stephen.
00:35:51Hello, Pierre. Is my father in?
00:35:56Hello, Father.
00:35:58Well, a great musician, eh?
00:36:04What do you want?
00:36:06Can't you forget? Can't we be friends?
00:36:09I can't forget.
00:36:11I can't forget.
00:36:13I can't forget.
00:36:15I can't forget.
00:36:17Can't we be friends?
00:36:19How's the piano playing?
00:36:21Well, since my accident, I haven't been able to play.
00:36:25Can we go into the office?
00:36:27So that's it. You've come here for money.
00:36:29I never said so.
00:36:31But I thought you might have a little understanding, sympathies.
00:36:33Sympathy?
00:36:34Oh, all right, Father, all right. I don't want your money.
00:36:36That's good, because you won't get a franc, not a sou.
00:36:40For years I wanted you in business with me.
00:36:42Being a tradesman wasn't good enough for you.
00:36:44Now that your hands are smashed up,
00:36:46you can't thump a piano any longer,
00:36:48you come crawling back to me.
00:36:50And that actress you married,
00:36:52why don't you let her help you now?
00:36:54Her pay may be small,
00:36:56but she could supplement her earnings, eh?
00:37:00Stop it!
00:37:09No!
00:37:14No!
00:37:35To be near you like this
00:37:37is more happiness than I have ever known.
00:37:40But, Dr. Gogol, quite frankly,
00:37:42I asked you to come here to talk about Stephen,
00:37:44and you must tell me the truth.
00:37:46Will he ever be able to play again?
00:37:48I mean, as he used to play?
00:37:50Your thoughts are only for him.
00:37:53He's my husband, and I love him.
00:37:56Is there no room in your heart,
00:37:59even pity for a man
00:38:01who has never known the love of a woman,
00:38:03but who has worshipped you since the day
00:38:05he first walked by that absurd little theater?
00:38:07Dr. Gogol, please!
00:38:08Oh, I can't be silent any longer.
00:38:10You are a woman. You must have known...
00:38:12Yes! Yes, I knew of your feeling for me.
00:38:14I traded on it.
00:38:15And since you saved Stephen,
00:38:17I feel deeper friendship for you than for anyone,
00:38:19but I can give you nothing else in return.
00:38:22Nothing?
00:38:23Nothing.
00:38:24Even if I didn't love him,
00:38:26there's something about you that...
00:38:28Repulses you?
00:38:30Frightens me.
00:38:32You are cruel.
00:38:36But only to be kind.
00:38:41Oh, thank you...
00:38:43for trying to understand.
00:38:52And now see what he's gone and bought you, dearie.
00:38:56It cost him a whole month of my wages.
00:39:00But what's that to you?
00:39:03I hired out as a housekeeper,
00:39:06and what am I now?
00:39:09Ladies made to a waxwork.
00:39:13Now, and fly catcher for a pluck.
00:39:18Oh, wait a minute now.
00:39:20Just wait a...
00:39:23Now, here's your dinner.
00:39:28You'll be dead soon, dearie.
00:39:31He likes dead things.
00:39:35Now, who can that be?
00:39:37Now, you stay here, Josephine.
00:39:39Go on, I'll go and see who it is.
00:39:41I feel that they're ringing the bell.
00:39:45All right, all right.
00:39:47Coming, I'm coming.
00:39:49It's a woman.
00:39:50Please carry her all the way down.
00:39:53If I could only get to that bell, I'd be all right.
00:39:56That's it.
00:39:57I'm going to be all right.
00:39:59Oh, so it's you again.
00:40:01Now, how many times am I to send you away?
00:40:04I've got to see the doctor. I'll get fired.
00:40:06You can't see the doctor.
00:40:08I've got a present for you.
00:40:09Napoleon Brandy.
00:40:10Cognac?
00:40:11Oh, I like cognac.
00:40:14Well, I like you.
00:40:15You do like that cognac.
00:40:17Oh, I like cognac.
00:40:19You know, I used to go with a girl like you.
00:40:21Only she drank.
00:40:23Now, tell me, what did he do with it?
00:40:26Now, tell me, what did he do with it?
00:40:30Well, you said it had no head.
00:40:33Well, I looked at the head.
00:40:36There ain't no marks on the neck.
00:40:39When did you look at the head?
00:40:41I look at it every day.
00:40:44He makes me brush its hair every evening.
00:40:48Brush his hair?
00:40:49Where does he keep it?
00:40:51Upstairs in his drawing room.
00:40:54Just like it was alive.
00:40:56He sits at his organ,
00:40:58and he plays music to it every night.
00:41:02He plays music to it every night?
00:41:04Every night.
00:41:05And you brush his hair?
00:41:06Every night.
00:41:07Well, I've got to see this.
00:41:09Sorry, I've got to see the whole thing.
00:41:11Wait a minute. You can't go up there.
00:41:13My job, I get in to offer up to the professor.
00:41:16You know, I can't do this.
00:41:18What are you doing?
00:41:19Madame Orlake.
00:41:20You can't go in there.
00:41:21What is she doing in there?
00:41:24Monsieur Professor.
00:41:26Hiya, Doc.
00:41:27I'm sorry to butt in like this,
00:41:28but we newspaper fellows have to barge in places
00:41:30we're not really welcome.
00:41:32I didn't know there was anything going on
00:41:33between you and Madame Orlake.
00:41:34Get out of here.
00:41:35I'll go. I've got a business proposition.
00:41:37I've got a proposition to offer you $2,000
00:41:38to write some articles for our paper,
00:41:40you know, of your experience.
00:41:42Get out of here!
00:41:43I'll go.
00:41:54Will I be able to walk after...
00:41:58Yes, my child.
00:42:02Then I'm not afraid.
00:42:12I have saved it.
00:42:1450 francs.
00:42:15All I have in the world.
00:42:16I do not operate for money.
00:42:18I have saved it.
00:42:20All I have in the world.
00:42:21I do not operate for money.
00:42:23Thank you, Doctor.
00:42:33I must see him. I must.
00:42:36What have you done to me?
00:42:38Monsieur Orlake.
00:42:39What have you done to me?
00:42:40Come in here.
00:42:41You and your black magic.
00:42:42What's wrong?
00:42:43You know very well.
00:42:46Ah, what is it?
00:42:48I've just come back from Giron.
00:42:50I've seen Doctor Marbeau.
00:42:51He told me that my hands were crushed beyond saving
00:42:54and that these aren't mine.
00:42:56Marbeau.
00:42:57Who is this Marbeau?
00:42:58Well, whose hands are these?
00:43:00What's wrong with them?
00:43:01Ten fingers, every nerve,
00:43:03every muscle works perfectly.
00:43:05What's wrong with them?
00:43:06They have a life of their own.
00:43:08They feel for knives.
00:43:09They want to throw them.
00:43:11And they know how to.
00:43:13Watch.
00:43:19And that's not the worst.
00:43:21They want to kill.
00:43:23And today they tried to kill my father.
00:43:27With a knife?
00:43:28Yes.
00:43:29Hmm.
00:43:31Now, my friend, I understand your case.
00:43:34And I think I can help you.
00:43:37Well, go on.
00:43:39Ready for operation, Professor.
00:43:41First forget that provincial fool.
00:43:43I am Gogol and I tell you those are your hands.
00:43:46Yes, but why...
00:43:47Don't interrupt.
00:43:48After the shock of the wreck came a second shock.
00:43:51Your hands were altered by my knife.
00:43:54You could no longer play.
00:43:56As a result, your disturbed mind was ready for any phobia.
00:44:01But the knives, the wish to kill.
00:44:04Your case is one of arrested wish fulfillment.
00:44:07But why should I wish to kill?
00:44:09Perhaps, as a little child, some playmate threw a knife cleverly.
00:44:14You wished you could do it like him.
00:44:16Now, that wish was not fulfilled.
00:44:19It festered deep in your subconscious.
00:44:22If you could bring that forgotten memory, whatever it is,
00:44:26into consciousness, you would be cured instantly.
00:44:33Knife.
00:44:35Knife.
00:44:39Knives.
00:44:44No.
00:44:47I remember nothing.
00:44:49Marie!
00:44:50Has he come home yet? I looked everywhere for him.
00:44:52No, madame, but Dr. Gogol called.
00:44:54He wants you to come to him at once.
00:44:56Dr. Gogol?
00:44:57When?
00:44:58Half an hour ago, madame.
00:45:00Half an hour ago?
00:45:01Half an hour ago?
00:45:05You told him the truth?
00:45:07Oh, I told him a lot of nonsense I don't believe myself.
00:45:11I didn't dare to tell him his hands are those of a murderer.
00:45:14That would probably drive him...
00:45:21...to commit murder himself.
00:45:27Madame would like to see you, professor.
00:45:30Have her come in.
00:45:31But the operation, professor...
00:45:33Leave me.
00:45:36What's happened? Where is he?
00:45:38I sent him home.
00:45:40I think if he follows my advice...
00:45:42What advice?
00:45:43To go away, bury himself in the country.
00:45:46It's absolutely necessary for his cure that he go alone.
00:45:49But do you mean that I'm not to go with him?
00:45:51Yes.
00:45:53Why did you give him that advice?
00:45:55I did what I could for him.
00:45:57I failed.
00:45:59The shock has affected his mind.
00:46:02His life is ruined already.
00:46:05Yvonne, get away from him before he ruins your life as well.
00:46:10Now I understand.
00:46:12You don't.
00:46:14How could you?
00:46:16I, a poor peasant, have conquered science.
00:46:20Why can't I conquer love?
00:46:23Don't you understand?
00:46:25You must be mine.
00:46:27I'm not his. You are mine.
00:46:30Liar! Hypocrite! You disgust me!
00:46:57Start the anesthetic.
00:47:27Liar!
00:47:57Hypocrite!
00:47:59You disgust me!
00:48:28They are laughing at you in there. Go back.
00:48:31They are laughing. Go.
00:48:34Let them laugh.
00:48:36Nothing matters to you but one thing.
00:48:41Yvonne. Yvonne.
00:48:44In your arms.
00:48:46In your arms.
00:48:48In your arms.
00:48:50In your arms.
00:48:52In your arms.
00:48:54Yvonne, in your arms.
00:48:58You can conquer love.
00:49:00Of course you can.
00:49:02Think.
00:49:04You thought for others.
00:49:06Now think for yourself.
00:49:08Power of suggestion.
00:49:11See how easy it is?
00:49:13Already working.
00:49:15Splendid.
00:49:17Splendid.
00:49:19He's weak anyway.
00:49:21Do it.
00:49:22And then she'll be helpless.
00:49:25She must come to you.
00:49:33Doctor, thank you.
00:49:35My little girl will walk again.
00:49:37You saved her.
00:49:38You saved her.
00:49:40I'm so happy.
00:49:42Thank you, doctor.
00:49:52THE END
00:50:22THE END
00:50:25Let's do the money.
00:50:27Extra.
00:50:29Yes.
00:50:30Mr. Stephen, he grabbed the knife from the counter.
00:50:32He threw it at his father.
00:50:34And then he ran out.
00:50:36Is this the knife?
00:50:39Yes.
00:50:40Take it to Varsack to check for fingerprints.
00:50:43Tell me.
00:50:45Why should Stephen Orlack want to kill his father?
00:50:48They were arguing about money, mister.
00:50:51They were hot words.
00:51:22Was it you who called me to come here?
00:51:24Yes.
00:51:30You said you'd tell me the truth about my hands.
00:51:32They throw knives.
00:51:36How do you know that?
00:51:39I have no hands.
00:51:42Yours.
00:51:44They were mine once.
00:51:47They were mine once.
00:51:52I knew it.
00:51:53He lied.
00:51:54And so, when you knifed your father in the back last night,
00:52:00you killed him with my hands.
00:52:04I killed my father?
00:52:06No, no.
00:52:08I threw a knife at him yesterday, but I...
00:52:10I...
00:52:13Last night...
00:52:16Last night, I...
00:52:18No, I...
00:52:19You remember now.
00:52:22No.
00:52:24Since I left Dr. Gurgol, I...
00:52:27I can't remember anything.
00:52:30Pick it up.
00:52:32Feel the balance.
00:52:36Use it...
00:52:39when they try to harass you.
00:52:46Who are you?
00:52:49I am Rollo, the knife thrower.
00:52:53No, no.
00:52:55Rollo died in the guillotine.
00:52:57Yes.
00:52:58They cut off my head.
00:53:00But that Gurgol, he put it back here.
00:53:17Did you get it?
00:53:19All right.
00:53:20Commissariat, Quartier Chaillot.
00:53:22Arrest Steve Norlack, 151, Avenue Claibert.
00:53:25Wanted for murder.
00:53:27Bring to General Headquarters immediately.
00:53:29Repeat.
00:53:47Stephen.
00:53:54It wasn't I who did it.
00:53:57It was Rollo's hands.
00:53:59What is it?
00:54:00What's the matter, darling?
00:54:02I've murdered my stepfather.
00:54:04I've just seen Rollo.
00:54:07You remember Rollo?
00:54:09They cut off his head.
00:54:12But Gurgol put it back on.
00:54:15It was Rollo who told me that I did it.
00:54:18Oh, Stephen, my darling.
00:54:20You're not well.
00:54:21All this is some wild dream.
00:54:23You're with me now.
00:54:25Everything will be all right.
00:54:27Oh.
00:54:29So you don't believe that these are Rollo's hands.
00:54:32All right, then.
00:54:34I'll prove it.
00:54:35They may not be able to play the piano,
00:54:38but you watch how they can throw a knife.
00:54:41Gurgol, that's what it is.
00:54:44That's all it is.
00:54:45He's trying to drive you mad.
00:54:47You can't take him away.
00:54:49Oh, pardon, madame.
00:54:50These men insist.
00:54:51They say they're from the police.
00:54:52Police?
00:54:53Yes, madame.
00:54:54I'm very sorry.
00:54:55Monsieur Stephen Orlack?
00:54:56Yes.
00:54:57In the name of the law,
00:54:58I arrest you for the murder of your father.
00:55:00Murder?
00:55:01There must be some mistake.
00:55:02It isn't true.
00:55:04Oh, when did this awful thing happen?
00:55:06Last night.
00:55:07Oh, Stephen.
00:55:08Tell her how my father was killed.
00:55:10Stabbed with a knife.
00:55:13Oh.
00:55:14Throwing knives seems to be a hobby of yours.
00:55:16Oh, no, no, no, please.
00:55:17Oh, it's no use, darling.
00:55:19All right, officer.
00:55:20I'm ready.
00:55:21If you like, I can put these on downstairs.
00:55:26Wait.
00:55:27I'll go with you.
00:55:28I'm sorry, madame, but...
00:55:29There's nothing you can do, darling.
00:55:31All right, officer.
00:55:33No.
00:55:34No, there's some mistake.
00:55:35He did do it.
00:55:36Stephen, tell them.
00:55:37Oh, you can't.
00:55:38You can't do this.
00:55:39Stephen, my darling, let me go with you.
00:55:42Monsieur Rossi, there are no two sets of fingerprints
00:55:45unlike in the world.
00:55:46These two prints are those of the same man.
00:55:48How can that be, Varsack?
00:55:49Well, Rollo is dead.
00:55:51I don't understand you at all.
00:55:52You must have made a mistake.
00:55:53There can be no mistake.
00:55:55Fortunately, our case against Stephen Orlok
00:55:57doesn't depend on fingerprints.
00:56:03Do you, Josephine?
00:56:06Come on, you come in and have a party.
00:56:08That's your put.
00:56:09Because you say he's a fool.
00:56:13And the thing is...
00:56:15Yes.
00:56:41I'll tell you.
00:56:43If it's that man again...
00:56:44I'll show him. I'll show him once I get the door knob.
00:56:52Ah, that's it.
00:56:54I'll show him.
00:56:59How did you get out?
00:57:01Now upstairs, quickly, where you belong,
00:57:04before he comes back and finds you wandering around.
00:57:07Upstairs, I say.
00:57:09Go upstairs. Get in there,
00:57:11because I've got to see you never before he comes back.
00:57:14Now, no, not in that one. Get in that one.
00:57:16Get in the room.
00:57:18Get all them flying when the doctor comes and finds you.
00:57:20But I must see Dr. Gogol. Nobody answered at the clinic.
00:57:23Ah! It talks!
00:57:25It's come alive again!
00:57:27Please, I must see it!
00:57:29Oh, it's come alive again!
00:57:34Oh, dear, oh, dear.
00:57:36Oh, dear.
00:57:38It went out for a little walk.
00:57:41And then it started to talk.
00:57:44Oh, I'm not going back there.
00:57:47Not me, not me.
00:57:49Who went out for a little walk?
00:57:51The wax statue. It came to life, I tell you.
00:57:54They often come back to life and go out for a little walk?
00:57:56Yes. They do?
00:57:58Now you come for a little walk with us.
00:58:00I know a doctor who wants to have a word with you.
00:58:02Well, I never saw a statue come to life.
00:58:08Oh, dear.
00:58:39Oh, dear.
00:59:02Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:59:08He believes he murdered his father.
00:59:13He'll kill now.
00:59:27Power of suggestion!
00:59:32How easily it works!
00:59:38He'll kill now.
01:00:08He'll kill now.
01:00:38Power of suggestion!
01:00:41Damn!
01:00:44Power of suggestion!
01:00:47Power of suggestion!
01:00:54Power of suggestion!
01:01:00He believes he murdered his father.
01:01:04When I killed him.
01:01:06She'll come here now, flesh and blood, not wax like you.
01:01:13And he, he shall be shut up in the house where they keep the mad.
01:01:18I, Gogol, will do that.
01:01:22He shall be shut up when it's I who am mad.
01:01:28But nobody knows that, excepting you and me.
01:01:33It's our little secret.
01:01:37And now, I shall pray to you for the last time.
01:01:46Now, you don't understand.
01:02:01These are Rolo's fingers, Rolo's hands.
01:02:03It was Rolo who told me that I killed him.
01:02:05My friend, Rolo's head was cut off months ago.
01:02:08Yes, but Gogol put it back for him.
01:02:11He took off his hands and put them onto my arms.
01:02:13Look.
01:02:14Fingerprints.
01:02:15On the knife.
01:02:16The prints of Rolo.
01:02:18And this man's prints.
01:02:19They are all the same.
01:02:21I got it.
01:02:22Man without head kills rich jeweler.
01:02:24What an eight-column spread that'll be on the front page.
01:02:26Why, that's the greatest story since Lindbergh flew to Paris.
01:02:28Oh, boy, it was only true.
01:02:30Let me see those hands of yours.
01:02:31Say, you're in a bad railroad wreck, is that right?
01:02:33Chief, I don't like the marks on this guy's hands.
01:02:36You sent Rolo's body to Dr. Gogol.
01:02:38And I've been trying to find out for months what he did with it.
01:02:40Never mind about his head, but I believe this hand stuff is true.
01:02:42You say you saw Rolo tonight?
01:02:44Yes.
01:02:45And he's got his head fixed up in a sort of steel and leather brace.
01:02:47Rolo's got his head back?
01:02:49All I got's got Rolo's hands?
01:02:51Now, what does Dr. Gogol got?
01:02:52If I don't find out, I got no job.
01:02:55Chief!
01:02:56Let me talk to you a minute.
01:02:57This is private.
01:02:58Come here.
01:02:59Hey, Chief.
01:03:00Dr. Gogol is 100% crazy.
01:03:01He tried to strangle me the other night.
01:03:03You know why, don't you?
01:03:04I found a woman in his house.
01:03:05Now, do you catch on?
01:03:06Now, wait a second, please.
01:03:07This is important.
01:03:08You know who the woman is, don't you?
01:03:09Yvonne, the actress.
01:03:10This guy's wife.
01:03:11Now, do you catch on?
01:03:12It's the old story.
01:03:13The old family doctor stuck on a girl
01:03:14and tries to plan a murder on her husband to get rid of him.
01:03:16He's been doing something mighty queer with Rolo's body.
01:03:18I begin to think you're right, Mr. Regan.
01:03:20We look into this immediately.
01:03:22Order my car.
01:03:23Now, you're talking.
01:03:43There's blood on your cheek, Galatea.
01:04:02So it seems that wax can bleed.
01:04:10Galatea!
01:04:11I am Pygmalion.
01:04:12You wore wax.
01:04:13But you came to life in my arms.
01:04:14Dr. Gogol, please!
01:04:15You speak.
01:04:16You speak to me.
01:04:17My love has made you live.
01:04:18Galatea, give me your lips.
01:04:19Let me go!
01:04:20Let me go!
01:04:21Rene, Rene, don't drive so fast.
01:04:22There's no hurry.

01:04:35I love you.
01:04:36You came to life for me.
01:04:37Don't you know me?
01:04:38Galatea.
01:04:39Yes.
01:04:40Yes, I'm Galatea.
01:04:41Let me go now, please.
01:04:42I promise to come back.
01:04:43You are lying.
01:04:44No.
01:04:45You wouldn't come back.
01:04:46You hate me.
