'The Man Who Changed His Mind' (1936)

'The Man Who Changed His Mind' tells the twisted tale of Doctor Laurience (Boris Karloff) who engages Doctor Clare Wyatt (Anna Lee) in his crazed plot to engender respect from a cynical scientific community while conducting secret experiments into monkey manipulation. Complications arise when Laurience is approached by brash media tycoon Lord Haslewood (Frank Cellier), owner of 'The Daily Gazette' newspaper and father of Clare's boyfriend Dick (John Loder). Doctor Wyatt must decide whether or not she's willing to support Doctor Laurience in a mission to take his illegal research into brainwave transportation to the next level ...


'The Man Who Changed His Mind' is a terrific science-fiction horror outing for gifted dramatist Robert Stevenson that's teeming with paranoia. Boris Karloff is at his unhinged best as mad scientist Doctor Laurience and Anna Lee is fiercely compelling as his curious partner Doctor Wyatt. Karloff and Lee would reunite 10 years later for Mark Robson's atmospheric period horror 'Bedlam' (1946).
