Episode 67: the Beast With Five Fingers


Listen Later

Warner Bros. only horror movie of the 1940s is discussed this week in the form of the Beast With Fice Fingers from 1946 featuring a delightfully insane Peter Lorre. Astrologist Hilary Cummins works as a personal assistant to the eccentric and mostly paralyzed pianist, Francis Ingram. A nurse, Julie Holden also lives at the Italian villa to help care for Ingram, who plays the piano with only his undamaged left hand. Following a visit from a scam artist, Ingram crashes down the stairs to his death — and a plague of bizarre events ensues that is attributed to the musician’s disembodied left hand.
