The Hands of Orlac (1924)
The Hands of Orlac is a 1924 silent Austrian horror film. Or it's known as a horror film, but actually it's a murder mystery with some horror trappings. I think this is well done, and I like it much better than the 1935 re-make Mad Love, even though Mad Love stars Peter Lorre and Colin Clive. I haven't seen the 1960 remake, which stars Christopher Lee. The Hands of Orlac is directed by Robert Wiene (better known for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) and stars Conrad Veidt.
