Yet another lurid tale in the field of biochemistry.
Boris Karloff plays a scientist who searches for a polio cure, the disease which killed both his wife and child. The treatment he develops actually works on a young paralyzed girl, but the serum requires human spinal fluid.
He acquires some of the fluid from the body of an animal trainer who is mauled to death by an escaped circus ape, but he needs still more. Karloff captures the escaped ape, kills it, skins it, and uses its hide as a disguise when he stalks the streets in search of spinal fluid donors.
Directed by William Nigh from a script by Curt Siodmak and Richard Carroll. "The Ape" was the first sci-fi horror film Karloff did after his "Mr. Wong" detective series. _________________ ____________

Another 1940s horror classic with several versions available on YouTube. This one seems the best of the bunch, based on a quick sampling.
If I didn't pick the best one, let me know and I'll fix it.
