Maniac (1934)

[vickisilverwolf]

This wild exploitation film runs less than an hour, but it's packed full of enough bad acting, incoherent plot twists, and deranged scenes to fill up a whole case of CD's.

We begin with some words about insanity on the screen. Get used to this, because similar quotes are going to pop up at totally random moments during the film. The story starts

Sounds like an ancestor of Test Tube Babies, a late forties (?) social menance/educational film about artificial fertilization that's mainly for women to fight in sheer lingere and almost show nipple.

Oh, yes, it's definitely in that sub-genre of "educational" adult films. In this one, the topless woman is quite clearly seen, if only for a few seconds.

I love the inclusion of the inter-titles between scenes, to make it “educational.” Of course, the hyperactive over-acting is the main draw, especially from the doctor and the crazy assistant.

This one needs to go on the ole' list.
