     The Beast with Five Fingers
1946  NR  HORROR  1h 28min
CAST— Robert Alda, Andrea King, Peter Lorre, Victor Francen, J. Carrol Naish
MUSIC— Max Steiner  DIRECTOR— Robert Florey  BASED ON— The Beast with Five Fingers (story), by W. F. Harvey

     Yet another chiller with Peter Lorre playing the all important “creepy guy”. He’s the secretary to a rich pianist who has recently kicked the proverbial bucket. Now mysterious murders are taking place in and around the mansion, causing a panic amongst the household. After some investigation it seems as if the master’s hand has been severed from his body. Could it be this cold dead hand that is the terror of the manor, these dead digits? See if you can “grasp” the truth. But if the film doesn’t fit you like a glove, don’t be surprised.
OUR RATING— * ½
