Mad Love (1935) Featuring Peter Lorre
Peter Lorre plays a mad scientist/doctor that transplants the hands of a dead knife throwing lunatic onto those of a piano player who's hands were crushed in an accident. He does it as a "favor" to the mans wife, who Peter Lorre's character has lusted over for years. The man realizes his new hands are not proficient at piano, but instead at throwing knives.
The most brilliant scene is when the pianist is confronted by the dead knife throwing lunatic Rollo, who was decapitated, but reveals to him that the doctor reattached his head, gave him metal hands and reanimated him.
