The Man They Could Not Hang Movie Review

A good doctor tinkering with artificial hearts is caught by police while experimenting on a willing student. When the doctor is convicted and hanged for a murder, his assistant uses the heart to bring him back to life. No longer a nice guy, he vows revenge against the jurors that sentenced him. Boris Karloff repeated the same story line in several films (three of them directed by Nick Grinde), and this one is representative of the type.
