Very good movie with many familiar faces. Can't believe I missed this one. Glad they made SO MANY movies during the Golden Age of Hollywood. We still need clean and quality entertainment today. Thanks for posting. :-)
The whole series was great. Was it 6 movies? I forget.
Good to see "clean" movies with no bad language.Enjoyed this download.
I thought this was the very first one of the movies to show the audience how Dr. Ordway began. Very good movie
❤ how much o 48:41 j
When movies were movies 😊
Absolutely fantastic....yes they may be oldies but to me they are the great ones..
A movie full of so many implausible elements! I loved it especially when Leon Ames saw the light and turn convicts into a military drill team. Thanks for putting it on the Web. It was a hoot.
that's what hollywood and actors do ...
Leon from Indiana
One of the best crime series made in the early film days of the 1930's my wife and I can view them all day especially when relaxing at night
..
I just watched all The Crime Doctor movies that were uploaded. Hadn't seen them since TCM ran them. So glad I stumbled upon them on here. I really enjoyed, thank so much for sharing.

WOW! Where did you come by so much information SuperIIiad?
I liked this movie "the thing about common sense is, it is not too common" Works today too
john buchinsky Yes,I understand " where you're coming from,to a degree,Mr.Buchinsky!" As Voltaire stated," Common Sense is not so common." I would prefer to have a Ph.D.in Common Sense,than in any academic field.Nancy MO.

So this is how Dr Ordway was born - baptised in a crucible of crime. Very interesting indeed !
Too bad he couldn’t separate himself from the evil
The ORDWAY ROOM...
Great film!
Warner Baxter is one of the best ❤️
Inrtiguing storyline, enjoyable , with some fine acting.Apparently Crime Dr was a series such as Sherlock Holmes
It was indeed and this was the first installment.
Thanks for such a fantastic upload. Love these old classic movies from around the world they have better taste and form than the new stuff we're being shown today.
This is an excellant series. Such a good story line. Much better than what you see on tv now.
Surely one of the finest "B" movies on UA-cam. Ray Collins, of course, spent many years on the Perry Mason TV show.
Warren: Yes, I still watch the Perry Mason TV show on ME TV every night.
Ray Collins also played Dr. Ordway on the radio version of The Crime Doctor. If you look around the internet you can find some episodes of the radio version, but the episodes I've listened to have all had pretty bad sound quality.
i hated him in perry mason... so annoyingly stupid. great actor
Wow what a movie,wake up Hollywood this is what a movie should be like,no filth,no cursing and has a good moral ending
I miss the cussin', Tho!
AMEN!!!!
Adele Celeste TV I guess when you’ve lived in the mud you’re just used to it.
Dennis Dowd Gary is the one with his head on straight. You are so mired in filth that you can’t see above it. If you’re lucky someday you’ll be able to rise above it.
Ruth Fitzwater Wrong. The both of you are singing the siren song of "the good old days". Nothing new, sung since the first Greek tragedy. Your parents sang it as you were enjoying your fav movie or music and their parents sang it before them, ad infinitem
Ray Collins is such a fine fine actor, part of the original Orson Welles Mercury Theater troup who were legendary.
Ray Collins was on Perry Mason. I think he was Lt. Tragg.
@@patmelton43 : Yes, and I still watch Perry Mason on the re-runs.
Wow everybody loves old movies! I love old movies I watch them in my dad's room!♡
Thanks for the download Thomas Sherman and I enjoyed watching the crime doctor.
Ed
HUGE fan of 'The Crime Doctor" series!!! especially the one featuring the enigmatic dancing "Bragas'. Baxter is a natural as Dr. Ordway, there is something so at ease and right in his portrayal as the amnesiac mature student-turned shrink, I just love him.
10 films in this series??? I think I may have only seen 3, and I love them all - cannot wait to see the rest. Just hope they can be found here on the blessing that is You Tube
Thank Jade E. Fields for that
Well! An absolutely terrific movie!! I hadn't seen it before and very glad I tuned in!! Excellent actin from all concerned especially Warner Baxter who, I feel, was underrated as a dramatic actor. Good to see a young Ray Collins (who I grew up with in Perry Mason). Excellent supporting cast. Fascinating storyline!. Many thanks for uploading.
Agreed. It was great!
Truth is better than fiction
Try it sometime
A young Ray Collins? He was 54 when he made this film.
You are correct, Ms. JJ.
Absolutely. As persons,
as a family, as a nation --
commit to the truth.
Pretty good little movie! Some really good stars in it also. Neat twist! Thanks for posting! 👍✌
Can’t believe I’ve never run across this before. Great movie.
Movies of the 1940's and 50's were great... Love em
The 30s too.
Except if you lived in the rural south without inside plumbing and air-conditioning 🤔🇺🇸🍺🍻😀🤗
Bravo...I never watched the whole movie...but today I'm glad I did...
Thanks for the posting. I just love the CRIME DOCTOR!!!!
A fine drama and introduction to the "Crime Doctor" series of movies.
Thank you for sharing this very interesting movie!
Gotta love 💕 these oldies. Such good story lines; simple yet effective. 👍
amazing story ,nothing like this in Hollywood any more! thank you! ive watched all of these!
Wow! I cant believe ive never seen this movie before. I loved it.
A time when both men and women wore hats -- and everyone smoked!
And NO tattoos & kool-aid hair!
Yes and they smoked in all the government buildings and all the hospitals.. they smoked on all airplanes and on the overseas flights the Smoky air was recirculated.. I never smoked a cigarette in my life and I cannot believe I did not get lung cancer from secondhand smoke.. but I did get stage 4 malignant melanoma and almost died..🤔😀🤗
Bring back the hats! As for smoking? Yeah probably Not so great! (lol)
Pat: Yeah, the hats would be okay, but not the smoking.
@@anonymousjohnson976 I smoke.
Frankly I find movies such as this much better than some recent Hollywood films. (CHIPs comes to mind.) These old films were before my time so it's not just nostalgia.
What a movie! Totally entertaining for the whole family....all age group. Just loved it.
Enjoyed immensely. Thank you so much.
Warner Baxter played Dr Robert Ordway in 10 movies, this being the first.
So sad how he suffered from pain and how he died.
Thanks for the information of it being the first of the 10 movies. I was so confused but this helps a little bit. I wonder if there’s a listing somewhere in the in order. This makes about the 4th or 5th one that I’ve watched. There’re being 10 in all that means that if I’ve watched 5 of them so, I’m half way through. That means that I only have 5 more to watch and I hate that.
Soon you can return to the first one. The last one is just hanging
Literally
I'm glad I saw the first one. I look forward to seeing the others. Thank you.
Very good picture,many thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks Wm. Tho' not without fault, still enjoyed! Watched a ton of movies with my Mother that were old movies then when I was a kid. Seeing familiar faces of those who played in other flicks I probably watched, like a couple of the robbers, and the doctor who helped Morgan/Ordway, and also the male prisoner who was paroled. Actor who played Ordway did look much older than the part called.
Wonderful memories of my mother too she didn't have to do anything but point out the movie stars ,the last time we really enjoyed each other . I hold on to that it means everything to me .
What a great film! Enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for posting it.
I've been watching these as I find them and now I've seen the one that began it all. Thank you for this!!!
According to TMC this movie series was based on a radio show in which Ray Collins played The Crime Doctor character (here played by Warner Baxter).
I just realized that doctor is Detective Tragg himself, Ray Collins.
I am big fan of black and white movies thank you for uploading it It’s great movie 🎥
I like their dialog. While a little simplistic compared to more polished films, it shows that people haven't changed as much in seventy years, as one would believe. Although I've seen Touch of Evil, I only remembered seeing Ray Collins in the Perry Mason series.
Thank you for posting sharing!!
"I'll ask all the questions" @ 4:30. Guess he was practicing for his role as Lt. Tragg.
Being a victim of mild amnesia of mid term memory range since age 8 this fascinates me. I didn't know I had it till age 29 tho.
Good Movie!
Thank you!
Well written story that holds up the whole way.
Thank you so much for sharing this exceptional movie 🍿 All the actors were stars ✨ Please, may we have more 🧚♀️ How about The Letter with Betty Davis and Coming Home with Clark Gable and Lana Turner and some Joan Crawford 💅 that is ~~~~if you find the time 🦋🐳🍒
thanks for posting
This was a major radio series in the 1940s and made into a movie series. The basic plots, but different Origen of the good doctor's dilemma. Warner Baxter was marvelous and doing so well despite a major back injury making movement difficult.
Thanks for posting this. As far as costuming, however (for those who are interested).....the nurses in 1932 (the movie's beginning scenes) would NOT have been dressed that way!
Peasblossom1973: my great aunt was a nurse from Ww one until the 40's and we have pictures pf her through the years...and I googled Nurses 1932" and got lots of pictures. Yes...They dressed like that, the caps were similar and the uniforms identical. I will say they would not get away with the hair and makeup back then. Anyway better than current nurses in pink teddy bear scrubs.
Remember - the story STARTED in 1932 when he first had his accident, so the uniforms would have had longer skirts and "close fitted" caps (like Barbara Stanwyck in 'Night Nurse', or Glenda Farrell in 'Mary Stevens, MD).. The uniforms as shown in the movie were straight from 1943.
Really good fim from the good old days when they didn't need special effects and gratuitous sex and violece to entertain an audience.
Yes, they had to think up an interesting storyline, something to engage the mind. Not just hormones, hate, and violence! 😠
True
@Chapman i watched 3-4-5 in the past 24 hours
@Chapman input crime doctor, if that doesnt work get back, i'll look harder
@Chapman try DD, who has some, & warner baxter
Very good series. Imagine anticipating going to the Saturday matinee to see what will happen this week. As commented previously, I cannot imagine disliking it, unless those who did were too young to appreciate a simple clean story.
Loved Margaret Lindsay. The greatest voice
In his prison garden [at 31:58], Dewey Robinson [inmate Fritzy], complains of being needled with the name “Ferdinand.” That term arose from Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild's passion for gardening.
Very good movie...thanks for posting! Beneath the more overt storyline runs a still-contemporary issue: is a criminal born or made? The doctor had been a criminal in his previous life, but after amnesia & therapy & a new start allowed him to begin again, he not only becomes a doctor but works to help others in less fortunate positions. Interesting theme, and the film seems to confirm the view that a person isn’t necessarily born bad, that we have within ourselves the capacity to be either good or bad, that what we become depends on both our society & our own determination.
It's all in the wiring of the brain..some are born and some are made 🤔😀🤗
I look
Richard Howe THE BAD SEED (theme)
Right around minute 16, Baxter says to Collins, "Maybe you're too old to find it," meaning Baxter's identity, "but I'll find it," as if he's younger than Collins. In fact, Collins was nine months younger than Baxter. They both look every bit of their 54-year-old age in this movie, too. Funny line.
good show saw it once as a kid and remembered it.
Delightful movie. I love a happy ending.
Highly entertaining film with an excellent cast.
Margaret Linsay was a master of comic film. She is worth the price of admission.
" What does she want ? " " Women - what do they always want ? " ! BUT After years and years of studying he is a doctor - AND LO - the pretty blonde nurse hasn't aged a week , and what is more, she is NOT jealous of his new brunette squeeze ! Creative writers
No reason to be jealous
10 Star Film - Superb acting - Excellent script - Well worth watching !!
Were you watching another movie or have you just left home after 30 years? Try Citizen Kane to experience a truly brilliant movie.
Great plot. Hard to imagine a "doctor" with such integrity now days.
So this is how Crime Doctor got started :)
What a great plot. Love these old movies that were written with the idea of a thinking person’s mystery instead of relying on violence, sex and profanity to carry a poorly written sensationalized script.
They didnt that during the
HAYES CODE 1933-1966
And before Rated R movies
Maybe a plot that was plausible and reasonably intelligent might have made this more engaging. Obviously some posters here prefer tosh to brilliantly written and acted contemporary movies - even if they do have a dash of realistic rough dialogue.
Some of you sound like members of a temperance society of puritans from the 19th century. Close your eyes to anything remotely gritty, real and depicting the world as it is. Films should be more than fairy tales for children. Grow up. Pathetic
Unusual plot, and well acted.
Fantastic Film... riveting from start to end.
What a great plot! Really enjoyed this Film! Thank you! xx
Crime doctor was a very good movie! Thanks!
This was a great movie!
Why do people tell what happens in the movie on their comments? That's why many of us are watching the film so we can find out the plot of the movie on our own.
Guess they arent mindful. Or are overly enthusiastic.
Not saying that it is correct to tell in the comments what happens in the movie; but I do read the comments looking for just that. I find it helps me be alert to points I might otherwise miss.
The first time in ages I have heard the expression """ dame """
Now that was a great movie. Coodos👍👏
What an amazing Doctor! @ 10:15 of the movie the "patient" complains he is not feeling well. The good Doctor suggests a cigarette.
He isn`t a doctor at all, this is Lieutenant Arthur Tragg by himself! :)
Could have been non nicotine cigarette!
@@camelia9802 ...oh, absolutely! For sure...
I hear they're relaxing.
lmao..hahahaha..
Wow - The actor John Litel could pass for Ed Asner’s brother. In some scenes the similarity is striking.
I thought he resembled more like George Brent. In fact I was expecting to see George Brents' name when I saw his picture.
Thank you for an inspiring vintage film. We need to seriously work at rehabilitation. The US has more people in prison than all other nations and counting.
At last preaching I can support.
thank you very much THOMAS.
They tossed him out because they were stupid
Your Shakespeare series is marvelous. Good job!
Wierd but good film to watch. Smart doc. Killed two birds with one plan. In wanting to find out who he was before his accident he he met up with a gang of criminals responsible for his accident, managed to get the answer out of them, and used it to turn them in.
That was clean slick plot writing.
Nice movie. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Great movie with a terrific lesson.
i love the actor that plays ordway - we need more men like him.
Must see movie. The finish was good. Thanks for posting
Well, good to see good ,old, LT TRAGG, a fine character actor...
Lol yes Ray Collins with distinctive voice of his.
Lovely movie. Interesting ending.
So he is a doctor and an attorney. Very smart man! Hahaha
"If he gets away with this you can knock me on the head and I'll start robbing banks tomorrow!"
All you have to do is go to Harvard business school and you will learn how to rob banks and anything or anyone else legally..🤔🍺🍻😀🤗
Or go to law school
Is 'Shadows in the Night' aka 'The Crime Doctor's Rendezvous' (1944, with Nina Foch and George Zucco) available?
yes
Why is it, in noir films, rich ladies always needed help???
Really enjoying this film series.
A lot lot better than most of the current era movies, No profanity, vulgarity or obscenity, no cocaine sniffing, no Computer generated imagery (CGI) no stupid loud music, no modern gadgets. who says such things are necessary to make a good film. I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the same time i feel sad while watching these old movies because all these people are long gone to the next world. These films also compel me to think about my own grandfather grandmother and their father mother which i have never seen but i think in 1943 my grandfather would be 12 year old approx. Life is strange. After 100 years people will probably think in a same way about us.
Very entertaining, despite the _numerous_ plot holes and the old "young" Phil we meet before the 10 year gap. Still, with younger male stars off fighting WW2, a few older actors got a look in. Margaret Lindsay was gorgeous, I must say.
Dr
I love this picture so much.
Ray Collins and Warner Baxter were the same age. Both men were born in 1889.
Good story. First time I've seen Ray Collins with some dark hair too, must be an oldie.
I had to laugh when the doc put out his cigarette on the cell floor. Lol. Prisoners with guns (toys?) with exercise?
Thanks good movie 😱🙋🏽 wow what a show ! That was okay 👏🏾
