Donovan's Brain (SUSP)

An obsessive scientist discards ethics to keep a man's brain alive in a jar ... and he is determined to communicate with it. The result is creepy and disastrous. "Sure, sure sure. Sure, sure, sure."

  1. I heard this once before a long time ago. Was it memorable? Sure sure sure! Those words became a little in-joke between my friend Pete and me, and we would mutter them at one another for laughs. Donovan's Brain really is a classic, and this is an enjoyable adaptation - is it the first? I was expecting Orson Welles to have a deeper voice, for some reason.
