Crime Doctor's Man Hunt

The Crime Doctor Robert Ordway is out one night when he sees two men carrying a former patient of his who appears to be dead. But when he informs the police nothing can be found of the dead man, the two men or where the killing could have taken place. So Ordwell being the Crime Doctor has to, of course, follow this up with his brand of snooping This leads to one of those Californian mansions with a mile long drive way and a dysfunctional family residing that is so typical noir films of the 1940's.

This is a rather unusual, yet finely crafted B-mystery with plenty of mysterious atmosphere, strange characters and a quite revealing denouement. Warner Baxter is excellent as always and so is Ellen Drew.
