Hand-Me-Downs



Rejection's just too hard to swallow,
So in lust unrequited he'll wallow
But her husband he'll fix 
With some custom-made tricks,
Like sleight-of-hand transplants from Rollo.



Dr. Gogol (Peter Lorre) covets Yvonne Orlac (Frances Drake), and performs a murderous transplant on her husband, giving him the hands of killer Rollo (Edward Brophy): Mad Love (Karl Freund; 1935). Title by handsy David Cairns.
