Dr. Jekyll e Mr. Hyde
Dr. Jekyll e Mr. HydeIl dott. Henry Jekyll è un medico irreprensibile, devoto verso i malati e attivamente impegnato nella ricerca scientifica. Il suo futuro suocero, Sir George Carew, lo pungola circa la doppia personalità dell'individuo umano e sulla sua doppia natura. Gli esperimenti di laboratorio lo porteranno presto a scoprire un siero capace di separare il bene dal male nella personalità di colui che lo assumerà. Egli non esita a sperimentare presto il composto chimico su se stesso, subendo una tremenda metamorfosi in un individuo soltanto malvagio, a cui dà nome Mr. Hyde.
La mandragora
La mandragoraHanns Heinz Ewers' grim science-fiction novel Alraune has already been filmed twice when this version was assembled in 1928. In another of his "mad doctor" roles, Paul Wegener plays Professor Brinken, sociopathic scientist who combines the genes of an executed murderer with those of a prostitute. The result is a beautiful young woman named Alraune (Brigitte Helm), who is incapable of feeling any real emotions -- least of all guilt or regret. Upon attaining adulthood, Alraune sets about to seduce and destroy every male who crosses her path. Ultimately, Professor Brinken is hoist on his own petard when he falls hopelessly in love with Alraune himself. Alraune was remade in 1930, with Brigitte Helm repeating her role, and again in 1951, with Hildegarde Knef as the "heroine" and Erich von Stroheim as her misguided mentor.
Turn-of-the-Century Surgery
Turn-of-the-Century SurgeryGeorge Mélies made a version of this a few years later, often titled Une Indigestion, but Guy-Blaché’s earlier film Chirurgie Fin de Siecle (1900) is more widely available. And it’s not one to watch the night before an operation. In this clinic, a sign pleads “On est prie de ne pas crier/Please do not cry”, and the doctors set about the patient with saws, cheerily hacking off limbs, and then slopping them into a bucket, all the while arguing ferociously with each other. They then reattach arms and legs from a bucket of “exchange pieces” (using glue) before re-animating their victim, I mean patient, with bellows.
