Frankenstein 1931
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"The genesis of the scene in which Frankenstein's assistant Fritz drops a jar labeled 'normal brain' and replaces it with a brain in a jar labeled 'abnormal brain' is believed to be based on the fate of Walt Whitman's brain at the American Anthropometric Society.
Whitman had donated his brain after his death to the society for analysis to correlate intelligence with brain size.
A 1907 paper by Edward Anthony Spitzka on the society's brain collection caused a minor sensation when it revealed that Whitman's brain had been accidentally destroyed when a 'careless assistant' dropped the jar it was stored in."Translated from by -
