Mad Love (1935)
By the name itself "Dr. Gogol" is like one of the pretty interesting characters that we always love to see on screen & Lorre's bald, sinister looks & his unique touch for Gogol's persona in this role made it a pure gem for any classic genre fan.
There's a scene where Dr. Gogol, seated in one of the boxes in the theater. We only see half of his face, because the other half hidden in shadows. We clearly get a sense of evil with only a minimal of lighting and gesture in the sinister figure of Dr. Gogol. These closeups on Lorre, the shadows in the hallway magnificently worked with black-and-white cinematography. Another brilliant showcase of Karl Freund's amazing works.
