     The Return of Doctor X
1939  NR  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 2min
CAST— Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane, Dennis Morgan, John Litel, Huntz Hall, Wayne Morris
MUSIC— Bernhard Kaun, Max Steiner  DIRECTOR— Vincent Sherman  BASED ON— The Doctor’s Secret (story), by William J. Makin

     Mystery, murder, conspiracy. These three seem to be falling all around small-time news reporter Wayne Morris who, along with his doctor pal begin to investigate strange local murders. The victims have all been killed with expert skill, their blood drained. But the mystery is that the next day the victims are out and about, albeit a bit more pale than usual. The two investigators find the first of these oddities in Humphrey Bogart, a disturbing figure with a thing for blood. A slightly entertaining shocker that won’t leave you guessing, won’t leave you wired, and surely won’t leave you begging for more. In no way related to Doctor X (1932).
OUR RATING— **
