ट्रिविया
On the witness stand, Dr. Savaard claims that one day it will be possible to take a heart from a person, such as someone killed in an automobile accident, and place it into the body of a person in need of a new heart, while skeptics in the courtroom scoff. Twenty-three years later, on December 3, 1967, the first successful human heart transplant occurred at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. The patient, Louis Washkansky, received the heart of a young woman tragically killed in an automobile accident.

After the judge dies, the remaining guests discover the electrified grill because the detective's gun, in a holster on his belt, hits the grill. Later, when the detective pulls his gun, he pulls it from his jacket.

Dr. Henryk Savaard: Think of it! The Edison or Pasteur of tomorrow need not die merely because his heart is worn out. We'll give him a new heart taken perhaps from the body of a young man who's been killed in a automobile accident. And our great genius is awakened to another sixty years of useful life! You ask me if that's a benefit to mankind? I answer it's the gift of eternal life! But whether man's wise enough or old enouh to receive such a gift, I don't know. I don't know!

Delicious variant on the "Old Dark House" theme

First, this film is way ahead of its time in foreshadowing heart transplants and (yet to be achieved) artificial hearts. The first act is all about the artificial heart thing. Act 2 is a courtroom drama about the doctor being sentenced to hang for an accidental killing of his medical student during the experiment. Act 3 is the revenge against the jurors and judge who convicted him. Each act of this melodrama is delicious but Act 3 is by far the best. My only gripe is that it ends too soon. It would have been more fun to have a few more gimmicks to revenge the conviction. This film reminds me of the classic "12 Angry Men" but is a lot more fun and to the point. Great production values for 1939.
