CORRIDORS OF BLOOD (1958, although there have been release dates as late as 1962). Boris Karloff is very good as an eminent surgeon who in the 1850's is trying desperately to find a way to sedate patients during surgery so no pain will be involved-kind of grim settings and a realization that "surgery" normally meant amputation or severe agony. He experiments with several chemicals until He finds a solution that works; unfortunately, He has ended up being addicted to his experimental elixir and having to associate with people He normally would cross the street to avoid. Lots of Hammer people in here including a very seedy Christopher Lee, a very young and lovely Yvonne Romain (CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF) and Francis Matthews (REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA, PRINCE OF DARKNESS). ***
