The Flesh and The Fiends (1959) Horror about "Burke and Hare" in 19th century Edinburgh. Two very strong performances from Peter Cushing as Doctor Knox and Donald Pleasance as one of the "fiends". I was very surprised at how this developed and it was very effective at portraying the harshness of the time through sharp dialogue as well as greatly evocative sets of the era.
