Crime Doctor is a crime film directed by Michael Gordon and stars Warner Baxter as Dr. Robert Ordway, a man suffering from amnesia who becomes a successful criminal psychologist.
After being ejected from a speeding car during the Great Depression, Ordway wakes up in a hospital with no memory of his past. Over the next ten years, he builds a new life with the help of his doctor,John Carey (Ray Collins), and becomes a leading figure in rehabilitating criminals. However, his past catches up with him when a former associate reveals his true identity as Phil Morgan, the mastermind behind a $200,000 payroll robbery.
The film explores themes of mental health and moral responsibility within the criminal justice system.
Backstory Facts:

2. Sequels: The success of the film led to nine low-budget sequels released between 1943 and 1949, all starring Warner Baxter as the Crime Doctor. Baxter continued his career with the series until he suffered a nervous breakdown and severe arthritis, passing away two years after the final film.
I hope you enjoy these movies as much as I have grown up. My wife and I like to watch these and the Thin man series with William Powell. All the editing and creating I do for this channel @Wolvemarine is done on my Galaxy Android Fold 4. One day, I hope to upgrade this channel by purchasing an inexpensive PC or laptop. If you'd like to help me achieve this. Please feel free to go to the buymeacoffee.com link below or any other "please give me money" links below. I hope this finds you in good spirits and, if not, helps you to forget that you're not for a while.

if you can, but it is not required. I thank you for watching either way.
This show is for entertainment purposes and is not monetized. Well, Rumble says some of my videos are monetized but I've never seen a red cent from anything I put on my channel. Here or on my youtube.com/@semperfighting channel. On my other channel it's because I don't have 1,000 subscribers and here it's probably somewhat the same reason I guess. Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed your visit to my channel even if I never make a dime bring something to watch. This is for your listening/viewing pleasure.
