This coming Friday is Black Friday. At least that's according to retailers nationwide.
What better way to spend Black Friday night than to pop in the DVD of the 1940 Universal feature, Black Friday?
It stars Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Oddly, both seem to be in secondary roles with the main character played by Stanley Ridges.
According to Wikipedia:
The famous Dr. Ernest Sovac's best friend, bookish college professor George Kingsley, is run down while crossing a street. In order to save his friend's life, Sovac implants part of another man's brain into the professor's. Unfortunately, the other man was a gangster who was involved in the accident. The professor recovers but at times behaves like the gangster, and his whole personality changes. Sovac is horrified but also intrigued, because the gangster has hidden $500,000 somewhere in the city. The doctor continues to treat his friend and, when the professor is under the influence of the gangster's brain, Sovac attempts to have the man lead him to the fortune. Béla Lugosi plays a gangster also trying to get his hands on the cash.
I have Black Friday in the Bela Lugosi Collection DVD set. But, if you don't have it, you can watch it above via YouTube!
Enjoy!
