Frankensteinian

Russian researchers demonstrate that they can kill a dog, separate it into parts, and have those parts operate as if they were still alive. Then they kill some dogs and revive them.

The movie is introduced by the distinguished scientist J. B. S. Haldane, who looks like a movie mad scientist, bald and with glasses so thick they look insane. I am a dog owner and found this a very tough movie to watch, even though I have known of these experiments for decades. I imagine they have some practical benefits, but to me it looks like an excuse for grim-faced women in operating gowns to torture dogs. If that's your idea of a good time, get away from me!
