Evoacative mid '40s crime drama.

You just can't go too wrong when William Castle directs something. I really love sitting back and watching an old Black & White mystery. THE CRIME DOCTOR'S WARNING fills the bill. Very good story line and not-over-the-top dramatic dialogue. Dr. Robert Ordway(Warner Baxter)is a brilliant criminologist and is requested by the local authority, Inspector Dawes(John Lidle)to investigate the murder of two artist's models. Modern artist Clive Lake(Coulter Irwin)seems suspect because of having ravaging headaches and blackouts about the same time as the murders. When it is discovered that the two young ladies posed for a missing painting with a third model, Dr. Ordway seems to be racing the clock trying to find that missing painting, plus the identity of the third model whose life may be in jeopardy.

Also in the cast: John Abbott, Dusty Anderson, Miles Mander and Franco Corsaro.
