This movie is an early horror film classic and certainly one that a well-rounded horror movie aficionado should not miss. An invalid concert pianist dies, leaving a will that does not include his personal secretary Hilary Cummins (Peter Lorre) as a beneficiary. Furious, the left-out yes-man cuts off a hand from the corpse and plots revenge.

This is fairly spooky despite its silly story and modest budget
Peter Lorre is so good.
Peter Lorre in one of his best, and one of director Robert Florey's visual and psychological best.
Wastes a captivating original premise and some fine performances with a stiff script and a cop-out ending.
Not a fantastic piece of work, but well-written and interesting. Peter Lorre is, of course, the reason to watch the movie - although the ending was really silly and definitely felt tacked on.
