Crime Doctor [1943] [DVD]Warner Baxter (actor) Margaret Lindsay (actor)
Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 1h6m Quality: Excellent, 4:3, b/w
With the exception of the Rathbone and Bruce Sherlock Holmes series, this is quite possibly the best of the 'mystery' series of the 30s and 40s. The series begins with this movie as Phil Morgan, master criminal, is double crossed by his gang, beaten and dumped along a roadside. As a result, he suffers from amnesia.
This movie, the first of the series, establishes The Crime Doctor's background, explains how and why he became a doctor (a psychiatrist, actually), head of the parole board and helped many convicts find the 'straight and narrow'. ~ imdb |
