...Cornell Professors Leonard Amby Maynard, 49, Clive Maine McCay, 38, and Sydney Arthur Asdell, 38, will direct the research. All are learned, industrious biochemists. None is a doctor of medicine qualified to apply his findings to the physiology of human beings. The trio hope to validate "the theory that the characteristics of youth can be retained . . . by special diets." This they expect to prove by feeding mature rats a great variety of foods...
...from Monte Carlo (Warner) frames the noteworthy Aztec beauty of Dolores Del Rio in an inadequate story about an indiscreet duchess who suspects the man she loves of selling a billet-doux which has really been stolen from him. A sorry little romantic comedy in which Warren William, Colin Clive, Warren Hymer, Herbert Mundin and Louise Fazenda are also miscast, it is not improved by badinage like the following, between Mundin and Fazenda: "Having a nice time, Ducky?"

Laid entirely in a court room which Designer Raymond Sovey has managed to make look astonishingly solid and permanent, Libel! concerns an action brought by one Sir Mark Loddon (Colin Clive) against a London newspaper which has made so bold as to declare that he "is not a Baronet, nor even a Loddon, and can hardly be accurately described as a Member of Parliament, as he secured his return by practicing on the electorate the same deliberate fraud he practiced on his wife."

That...
...most completely horrible stories of the year. It presents Peter Lorre as a maniac surgeon who can do anything with a scalpel but nothing at all with Yvonne Orlac (Frances Drake), an actress who has no use for him because she loves her pianist husband, Stephen (Colin Clive). When Stephen's hands are mangled in a railroad wreck, Dr. Gogol (Lorre) replaces them with the hands of a murderer who has that day been guillotined. Thereafter the hands of Orlac give evidence that the transfer has done nothing to impair the knack for knife-throwing which was the obsession...
