Mad Love (1935)

A prolific surgeon (Prof Gogol) is infatuated with a local stage actress. However he discovers she is married to a concert pianist. Her husband is involved in a train wreck, destroying his hands. She takes her husband to Professor Gogol, who tries the unconventional to save her husband's hands. Gogol becomes increasingly psychotic as his attempts to win her love are twarted.

This is an amazing film. Peter Lorre as Gogol is excellent - an outstanding performance. Highly recommended viewing.
