The Doctor's Horrible Experiment (1959), dir. Jean Renior, R.T.F./S.O.F.I.R.A.D.
In Paris, Joly (Teddy Billis) is having some trouble. He's a lawyer, and his client/best friend Dr. Cordelier (Jean-Louis Opale) has written his will. The issue is that the doctor, who nearly everyone in France agrees is a wonderful man overflowing with the milk of human kindness, has left all his money and estate to man named Opale (Opale again), who is a foul pervert and utter sadist. Dr. Cordelier's notes paint Opale as a former patient. If so, the doctor must have not had much luck.
Joly is sure there is more to it than that, but can he handle the shocking truth?
Good film. Odd they thought changing the names would disguise the story, but the actors do a wonderful job all the same.
