The Man Who Changed His Mind (1936)

In the eerie solitude of a decaying manor house nestled within the superstitious heart of rural England, the eccentric and once-esteemed scientist, Dr. Laurience, embarks on a daring exploration of the human mind and soul. Shunned by the scientific community and accompanied only by Sanders, his crippled, bitter and misogynistic aide, Dr. Laurience's world is subtly illuminated by the arrival of the vivacious and intellectually curious Dr. Clare Wyatt. Encountered in Genoa and drawn to her open-minded enthusiasm, Laurience invites her to share in his ground-breaking research. As Dr. Wyatt seamlessly integrates herself within the manor, serving as a housekeeper, cook, and indispensable lab assistant, Laurience unveils his revolutionary discovery - a process capable of transferring memory, habits, and the very essence of being from one creature to another. Their initial successes are marked by triumphant transference between lab monkeys, igniting a burning question: will the boundaries of scientific ethics permit human experimentation? Hovering on the periphery of their secluded world is Dick Haslewood, a persistent investigative reporter smitten with Dr. Wyatt, who struggles to unravel the mysteries surrounding the doctor's experiments. His pursuit grows increasingly complex when his father, publishing magnate Lord Haslewood, decides to finance Laurience's controversial work as a sensational publicity stunt for his tabloids. As Laurience teeters on the brink of mockery from the British scientific establishment, he becomes resolute in harnessing his discoveries to safeguard his research and further his personal ambitions, morphing into a dangerously driven Mad Scientist. The Man Who Changed His Mind is an intricate tapestry of science, ethics, ambition, and human connection, inviting you to question the very essence of who we are.
