Tonight's Stinker The Monster Maker(1944) https://youtu.be/XdOG3mZKfi0?si=VXYUs4fKd3UkSktg A pianist is giving a concert while his manager & his daughter watch.... His daughter notices some creep in the next skybox glaring at her.... During an intermission, he visits them backstage with a fake apology, & says she looks like his dead wife... The creep starts sending the girl flowers & creepy love letters, so the pianist decides to confront him..... Turns out, the creep is a doctor looking for a cure for Acromegaly.... He's got a really cool chemistry set & a gorilla in a cage..... When the pianist shows up, an argument ensues, & the creep clocks him & shoots him up with a drug that induces the disease... The creeps assistant reveals (to the audience) just how twisted he is... Afterwards, the pianist becomes a real machine, practicing morning, noon & night, until his hands swell up & he can't play.... Meanwhile, the creep has found a cure, which he plans to use as a bargaining chip for the daughter... Has some slow parts in the second half, but is watchable for the most part.....
