MST3K The Brute Man Part 1

Synopsis
The Brute Man

Hal Moffat (Fred Coby before disfigurement, Rondo Hatton afterwards) is taking wholesale revenge by murdering those he holds responsible for his disfigurement. He's befriended by Helen Paige (Adams), a blind piano teacher. He develops a warmth for her that leads him to add thievery and robbery to his murders so she can be provided with the money for an operation to restore her sight.

Sadly, Crows attitude towards kids, around 4:05 & on, matches mine at times. Which is why I'm probably not having kids.

"Shut up kid!"

Growing up I always thought the same thing when I watched this show! But I've convinced myself that it's an optical illusion.

Pearl: Clayton, be a dear and get that?

Dr. F.: Sure. There's nothing else I need to do. I'm your personal slave. That's probably why you had me!
