One thumb up for the hand! 1946! I've seen parts of it before and again tonight January 2021 on the SVENGHOOLIE TV show. It was seriously acted and of course a preposterous Idea. Peter Lorre! Got incredibly high reviews I'm rotten tomatoes from both critics and audiences

My first movie in 1946. Frightening for a youngster. Peter Lorre marvelous. Excellent for a movie of psychological terror for its time.

When the will of a wealthy concert pianist

When the will of a wealthy concert pianist is contested, it isn't long before mayhem and murder become the focus of the local constabulary. However, when it is discovered that a hand of the deceased is missing, those concerned can only jump to one logical conclusion: there is a murderous appendage running amok. Sure, the premise is absurd, but as things turn out, The Beast with Five Fingers is actually more of a murder mystery than it is a horror film. The acting is solid (Peter Lorre is always fun to watch), the camerawork and lighting establish an effectively eerie atmosphere, the effects are respectable, and the story manages to keep your interest, but it's all a bit silly in retrospect.
