This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Crime Doctor (1943) is a crime film adapted from the radio series of the same name. The film stars Warner Baxter as a man with amnesia determined to remember his past. As with the radio series, the film deals with the complex issues of mental health and moral responsibility in the criminal-justice system. The film was released by Columbia Pictures.
Nine low-budget sequels followed from 1943 through 1949, all starring Baxter as the Crime Doctor. The sequels are more conventional mysteries than is the original film, with the main character working as a psychiatrist to rehabilitate lawbreakers while also solving crimes as an amateur sleuth. Baxter finished his career with the series before suffering a nervous breakdown and severe arthritis. He died two years after the final Crime Doctor film.
