The Beast with Five Fingers (Robert Florey, 1946)
1946 was the last year Peter Lorre worked for Warner Brothers, and his parting from the company was career suicide; while he remains one of the world's most famous actors, endlessly imitated and paid tribute, from his parting with Warner Brothers until his death in 1964, Lorre picked up only the odd film here and there (though some of them are truly excellent) and some TV guest appearances. Thus it is that The Beast with Five Fingers is something of a bittersweet film for the nostalgia buff; it is a great Lorre performance, but it marked the beginning of the end.
Set in the late nineteenth century in northern Italy, The Beast with Five Fingers is the tale of Frances Ingram (Victor Francen), a pianist with a rather motley crew of eccentric... see description |

Even though this only came out on video, it is a great movie, and worth putting in your collection. It is my mother's favorite. This is one of my favorite movies and we all know VHS tapes don't keep the quality very long as you play them over and over. This is a great movie-how come it never went to DVD? Who can we write to request this? Like 'Yarn" I also was able to transfer my vhs copy
onto a blank dvd disc before it became unwatchable.
This movie is for all those who still believe that
love conquers all.And in this movie it will almost
have to.Can you imagine having your lover disappear
and return 20 odd years later not having aged a day?
This is truly a sweet feel good movie.
Please PUT IT ON DVD I'm grateful my VHS copy survived long enough for me to dub this movie to DVD. I love... see description |
