This British Film was directed by Robert Stevenson https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwDX-_T-UvT8o_tMPGmoacrCuojsfzImQ and stars Anna Lee, his wife at the time, John Loder, and Frank Cellier, who all made https://youtu.be/bJauKRIP9Qc together a year later, along with the man who needs no introduction, Boris Karloff, giving a captivating performance. It's a science fiction horror drama that has appreciated in value over the years, due in part to its well-paced, enduring story, smart, entertaining script, and surprisingly relevant social commentary – Your mind is just as twisted as your body, you told the newspapers all this? » I don't mind dying, but to be accused of journalism!...📣 The Man Who Changed His Mind was produced by Gainsborough Pictures in England and released as The Man Who Lived Again in the US.

Some Insightful IMDB Reviews ⭐8/10 For what it is, it is Super and very Effective - planktonrules Nov 29, 2006 This was a low-budget horror film with very modest pretensions. No one involved believed they were making "high art", and with a small budget and running at only 62 minutes, this is a definite B-picture. And in light of these factors, it's an amazingly effective and enjoyable film. Boris Karloff plays a mad scientist--this is certainly no great stretch. His research involves trying to switch the mind of one person with another--sort of like the plot that was often used in cartoons or cheesy comedies in the '60s. How exactly this was going to be a GOOD thing certainly wasn't a primary concern for the doctor, though later in the film, greed and an overactive libido push this strange doctor to make this switch with unwilling victims. So, despite a pretty corny plot, why did I like this film? Well, the pacing was excellent, but more importantly, the film had wonderful dialogue and was at times very 'tongue in cheek'. In particular, when Karloff's evil and physically twisted assistant changes bodies with the rich philanthropic newspaper owner, I found myself laughing repeatedly because the writers for the film deliberately injected some levity into the horror plot. You just have to see it to understand and appreciate this. Still-Relevant Social Commentary - Doghouse-6 Oct 5, 2005 This is one of the earliest examples of the "mad scientist" characterisation that would become so much a part of Boris' stock in trade over the following decade. What's most interesting about THE MAN WHO CHANGED HIS MIND is that it is not as much science fiction as it is an observation of what we might today call the "PR machine," and it takes some lacerating swipes at journalism, publicity and self-promotion. Karloff is Dr. Laurience, a reclusive scientist who believes he can transfer the consciousness (or soul?) from one brain to another. Ably assisted by Dr. Clare Wyatt, Laurience draws the interest of newspaper publisher Lord Haslewood (whose son, Dick, is Clare's fiancé). Eager to promote his foundation, Haslewood offers to sponsor Laurience's work - without knowing exactly what it is. Before the dust settles, Haslewood feels swindled, Clare feels suspicious, and Laurience feels used, vowing to employ his work to his own ends rather than for the benefit of mankind. Boris' performance is exuberant, and supporting players Anna Lee, John Loder and Donald Calthrop are effective, but Frank Cellier, as Lord Haslewood, walks away with the picture whenever he is on screen. Without giving too much away, let's just say that Cellier is called upon to portray more than one personality, and provides the film with its most enjoyable scenes. THE MAN WHO CHANGED HIS MIND definitely has its moments, along with a little something to say. With its takes on the press and the pitfalls of corporate control, it not only conveys messages to which we can relate today, but also illustrates how little some things have changed in 70 years. Thanks to the invaluable IMDB, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia for much of this information.
