A lot goes on in Eric Taylor’s script for this series entry, though it’s one of the least tied-together-properly whodunits ever put on film.

The nasty, manipulative, wheelchairbound mother – flanked by lawyers and tame doctors set to send her innocent son off to an asylum for life, and responsible for his cracked brain the first place since his blackouts started when she locked him in a cupboard as a punishment and forgot about him – is a sketch of a character type which would show up in many 1960s psycho movies.

I recently wrote about the origins of Columbia's Crime Doctor series in an article focused on the first movie in the series, titled simply Crime Doctor.Released in 1943 Crime Doctor would be the first of ten movies starring Warner Baxter as the title psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Ordway. 6 Midsomer Murders In the end, with a slight echo of Mark of the Vampire, this turns out to be a publicity stratagem dreamed up by comedy sidekick Jeff Jerome (Jerome Cowan), exploited by the actual murderer. A lot of character actors with whiskers and dungarees do aw-shucks dialogue and seethe with proto-Deliverance resentment at the townies – while fiddle-playing and other country pursuits to add colour. The motive for the killings is that she doesn’t want her neurosis to come out. Director George Sherman (London Blackout Murders) piles on the mysterioso for the vampire red herrings, but gets away from the Lewton manner of Shadows in the Night to go for a more traditional, wisecrack-and-raised-eyebrow style of ghost-busting. ‘Inspector Manning is counting on you to give an insanity test to that young matricide.’. A stranger presence is young Whit Bissell as a ‘subnormal psychotic’ handyman who fancies himself as a singer-songwriter always plugging his terrible number ‘Toot Toot Toot’.

It opens in 1930 with an amnesiac (Warner Baxter) taking the name Robert Ordway and being mentored by Dr Carey (Ray Collins, who played the lead on radio). Though it’s mostly the story of how the hero gets his memory back, there’s never a threat that the old evil Phil personality will reassert itself and the robbery plot is resolved offscreen without much suspense. Their act involves Dolores seemingly becoming invisible in mid-air, they’re never seen in the daytime, Miguel paraphrases Dracula dialogue to explain why they live in a ruined gothic castle, a seventeenth-century portrait of them hangs in their front room, they claim to have been doing their dance for three hundred years, are found asleep in padded coffins in the cellar and don’t drink wine (mostly because this particular goblet has knock-out drops in it). I suppose some crucial event must happen just before dawn, but the Eric Taylor script doesn’t make a thing of it. Donna Noble is determined to find the Tenth Doctor again — even if it means braving the villainous Miss Foster. The Crime Doctor movies was based on the popular radio program of the same title broadcast on Sunday nights from 1950 to 1947. The real culprit is a plastic surgeon who specialises in giving crooks new faces and is built up as a masked bogeyman (an actual criminal doctor pitted against the crime doctor!) Directed by Seymour Friedman. Castle had already directed a breakthrough B picture (When Strangers Marry) and a couple of well-regarded Whistler entries, but his work here would be makeshift and unimaginative even at PRC or Monogram, let alone Columbia – characters stand around muffing their lines, eyeing the camera and going dead when others are speaking, while all the staging is rudimentary, awkward and clumsy. On a lecture/vacation visit to Paris, Dr. Ordway drops in on his friend, the Prefecture of Police. However, various crooked types – Emilio Caspari (John Litel), Nick Ferris (Don Costello), Joe Dylan (Harold Huber) – recognise Ordway as their old associate Phil Morgan, who ran out on them after a heist and stashed the loot. Also in the mix are the innocent man’s long-suffering wife (Micheline Cheirel), her angry knife-throwing papa (Eduardo Ciannelli), and an artist (Maurice Marsac) whose copies of old masters could easily pass for forgeries. Perhaps the least-known vampire-themed film from Hollywood’s golden age, though – of course – there turns out to be a rational explanation. There are eccentric red herrings – Olin Howland as a tousle-haired phrenologist, Ivan Triesault as the crooked fortune teller, Leonardo Scavino as an excitable Cuban who threatens to sue everyone and Minerva Urecal as a landlady. The solution involves the murderer being killed by someone else who then tries blackmail, a skeleton found in the disused dancehall and 1909 flashbacks; in fact, it’s so complicated the hurried explanation at the end doesn’t fully tie up all the minor strands of mystery. A second model, Connie (Dusty Anderson), is killed, and a lot of suspects are paraded … a male model (Eduardo Ciannelli, unbilled but grabbing a lot of attention) rants about his great career being sidelined now artists just want to paint girlie pictures, a couple of suspect struggling genius artists (John Abbott, Franco Corsaro), and Clive’s smothering wheelchairbound wealthy mother (Alma Kruger) … while we also meet two elaborately innocent art dealers, which would perhaps blur the certainty of who the killer is if one (J.M. With Paul Guilfoyle, Nancy Sauncers. Regular Eric Taylor provided the story, but the script was by an overqualified Leigh Brackett. When he is hit on the head (by someone from his past) he suddenly remembers his previous life as a criminal. There are enough other suspects and incidental deaths to keep the plot boiling. The patient is a diabetic and someone switches his insulin bottle for poison, making Ordway himself the instrument of murder and annoyed enough to get on the case. With Charles Halton as the dimwit doctor who doesn’t believe in sleepwalking gas but gets dosed with it. Part of the plan is to convince the heroine that the Braggas are real vampires, though admittedly this gets a tad confused. April 7, 2021 by . When Carson is shot in a locked room, it would be ruled as suicide by the dim cops, repped by Captain Birch (Emory Parnell), only Ordway is on hand to diagnose murder. Warner Baxter looks tired and jaded as Dr Ordway and finally starts on one of those Charlie Chan-like world tours. Here, his help is sought by Jimmy Trotter (Lloyd Bridges), who’s been controversially acquitted after the poisoning of his wealthy employer. Writer Eric Taylor and director Eugene Forde are held over from The Crime Doctor’s Strangest Case, a title that probably shouldn’t have been squandered on a regular whodunit plot – Shadows in the Night is considerably stranger, and the next movie would be stranger still. General: Non-standard set-up may cost extra. At a dinner party, Carson is annoyed that a waiter (Dennis Moore) turns out to be the brother of his first wife, and is angrily stalking him and accusing him of murder. Ordway explains that she projected herself into the other personality when her real domineering sister left. Director Michael Gordon (Pillow Talk) was later a blacklist victim. Weekend set-up/service visits cost £15 extra. We get scenes of shadow-faced figures creeping in the dark while Clive is having one of his blackouts, a fetishised clue about a safety deposit box key that goes nowhere, a bizarre mcguffin in a missing painting of the two dead models plus another missing girl, a few sops towards an artistic milieu (it’s obligatory for Clive to throw a party when he sells a painting), and a finale in which dealer Malone turns out to have a wax figure of the missing dead girl – a model of a model – in a bier in his backroom (rather like the one seen in the Karloff vehicle The Climax). Given another job by bedridden big shot Walter Burns (George Lynn), he is perfectly placed to be a patsy when his boss drinks poisoned coffee. River is haunted by a series of murder victims which calls into question his sanity despite the fact that he is an accomplished investigator. Ordway investigates and discovers everyone in the household has reason to kill Burns, including a trophy wife (Rose Hobart), a nasty brother (Sam Flint), a cook who is in disguise (Gloria Dickson), a songwriter who keeps starting fires by mistake (Jeroma Cowan), a weaselly hanger on (Reginald Denny) and a housekeeper (Virginia Brissac) who used to be the star attraction in a dancehall Burns owned thirty years earlier. On a scene by scene basis, it’s an entertaining watch – but no one troubled to make sense of it in production, so why should you hurt your head seventy-five years later trying to put the pieces together? Paging The Crime Doctor. Scripted again by Eric Taylor, it’s full of decent, weird red herrings and oddball characters like Lloyd Corrigan as the heroine’s harness-manufacturing pedant father (who pompously explains gun-barrel grooves to the detectives). True crime fans better prepare themselves for some new chilling tales because an upcoming series will tell the story of Harold Shipman, a ‘respected’ doctor … – but the insulin trick is ludicrously elaborate. That is probably due to the director William Castle who was just at the beginning of his directing career and was gaining a reputation at Columbia for bringing in his films on time and on budget. My notes on the Crime Doctor series mysteries. Everyone seems all to well aware that the end of a line is close. Hosts Chandler Barbee and Max Frew, along with an ever-changing panel guest of either actors and/or comedians, presents the gruesome tales that every city, town, and backroad has to offer. Dr. Matthew Thorne (Joseph Campanella), losing his medical license and forced into becoming the crime doctor by his younger brother, crime boss Rupert Thorne, must perform delicate surgery on Rupert. Check out our editors' picks for the movies and shows we're excited about this month, like Mortal Kombat, "Them," and Stowaway. The philandering local barber (Trevor Bardette) dies, but it turns out he was poisoned and everyone in town has a handy motive for murdering him. The plot here is just as absurd, but doom-haunted and shrouded with melancholy after the fashion of The Seventh Victim (an influence on the Falcon film too). Holmes and his murder house.Thanks for watching!! Later, Millerson – the prime suspect – is shot dead too, and Ordway flushes out the killer, then has to pull a trick with a burning newspaper to establish that he’s faking insanity and will face trial. In this episode, a very high Max tells a very stoned Chandler the story of H.H. The innocent man is torn between devoted gal Friday type Jane (a young Lois Maxwell) and gold-digging moll Inez (Adele Jergens), but it turns out that the nice girl is obsessively jealous and responsible for the arson and murder, giving Maxwell a chance to do some quality mad acting. He can’t do it alone, and kidnaps Dr. Leslie Thompkins to assist. The milieu is odd – a rivalry between a hood (Robert Armstrong) who runs a jukebox business and a music-by-wire service which sends requested tunes to bars over telephone lines. Connect to TV using HDMI cable. An Apache dance goes on forever (twice), the knife-throwing act is the least thrilling on film, the fight scenes wouldn’t have passed muster in 1912, and none of the supporting cast (which includes an unusual number of French exiles) show much personality. With Barton MacLane as yet another bad-tempered cop humiliated by a presumptuous amateur sleuth, Creighton Hale (star of the silent Cat and the Canary – now an unbilled doctor) and Thomas E  Jackson.

Kerrigan) weren’t an unbilled Scots comedy stereotype (he admits he’d ‘swim to Glasgow for a shilling’) while the other is reliably culpable Miles Mander. The identity of the culprit is blatantly obvious on the usual grounds that the most helpful, polite, uninvolved middle-aged character actor in any B mystery is liable to be the killer, but his motivations are so complicated and convoluted that it’s almost impossible to sort them out. There’s also a rare attempt at depicting poor rural folks as slightly more than Li’l Abner caricatures – though there are a lot of characters with names like Jud Rookstol, Ezra Minnich, Link Hazen and Zeke Zilch. I always wonder how these B mysteries came up with their titles – things like Bulldog Drummond’s Secret Police or The Lone Wolf Takes a Chance could be applied to almost every entry in their respective series with equal irrelevance.

That doesn’t carry over to the conventional gangland story, in which criminals are lowlife creeps who deserve little understanding. Deadly rivals from the modern clinic move into town to vaccinate, with a checkers-playing ring of geriatric local know-it-alls pitted against younger, slicker, blander modern types. The likes of Charlie Chan and Perry Mason had tackled old dark house mysteries since the beginning of the whodunit craze, which really took off when the talkies allowed detectives to explain mysteries out loud, almost always with Cat and Canary-style humour between spooky moments. the crime doctor's courage youtube. Warner Baxter stars as the Crime Doctor in 10 film classics. This time the Crime Doctor series goes back to the mental aspect of crime, the one for which Dr. Robert Ordway (Warner Baxter) is so well trained. He’s Ordway’s initial patient, but gets shot in the head with an air gun and dumped by a couple of lowlife creeps working for shoulderpads-sporting, blonde-wigged, dark-glasses-wearng Natalie Cotter (Ellen Drew), who seems to be the disowned elder daughter of Gerald Cotter (Francis Pierlot) … but Natalie is dead, and Ordway whips off the killer’s wig to reveal that she’s Armstrong’s apparently normal fiancee Irene (Natalie’s sister)!
