Over the weekend, Man Made Monster, an exceedingly well made B from 1941 featuring a young Lon Chaney, Jr. in his first starring role in a horror, and he served the material well.
Fine work from the supporting cast, especially Lionel Atwill as a mad doctor, Samuel S. Hinds as a sane one. Modest budget, it delivers the goods all the same. For those who like old black and white movies, and who have a fondness for Noir and horror, I highly recommend this one.
The only downside I can think of is its unrelenting sadness. As would become customary for Chaney, his monster character is more victim than perp. It's like a dry run for The Wolf Man, moves at a faster pace, features more action, far less local color.
