The Return of Doctor X
(US 1939)
Warner Bros. 62m. bw
A resurrected doctor hunts for victims in his blood group to keep himself alive.
Uneven Warners quickie, better in production values than might be expected, but content-wise an uncertain mixture of crime drama, romantic comedy and horror. Bogart is not so horrendous as the crook-cum-vampire as might be expected, but he would probably have been wiser to defer to Peter Lorre.
Written by: Lee Katz, based on the story "The Doctor's Secret" by William J. Makin.
Producers: Hal B. Wallis, Bryan Foy.
Director: Vincent Sherman.
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Wayne Morris, Dennis Morgan, John Litel, Rosemary Lane, Lya Lys.
Photography: Sid Hickox.
Music: Bernhard Kaun.
