Movies I Want to See: The Crime Doctor series

The Crime Doctor, a criminal who suffers amnesia and subsequently becomes a criminal psychologist, was created by Max Marcin in 1940 for a radio series that ran on Sunday nights on CBS until 1947. In 1943, Columbia Pictures translated the character to the screen in a series of films, that would end up totaling ten in all, starring Warner Baxter. Baxter started his career in the silent film era, starring notably in The Awful Truth and The Great Gatsby, but it was his turn as the Cisco Kid in the western In Old Arizona, the first major talkie western and the first talkie to be filmed outdoors, that garnered him the second ever Best Actor Oscar. Baxter, when not acting, was also an inventor, creating a revolver searchlight to allow gunman to shoot in the dark and a radio device that allowed emergency crews to change traffic signals from up to two blocks away. In declining health, he only made three films after the Crime Doctor series ended in 1949. He died in 1951 from pneumonia. The only film of the series I have so far been able to find has been the second entry, The Crime Doctor's Strangest Case. The movie, which has some nice twists, turns and convolutions, makes me very interested in seeing what other adventures the Crime Doctor found himself embroiled in.
