Strange Case of Doctor RX, The (1942)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Here's another forgotten thriller/mystery from Universal. A mysterious man is killing off client's gotten off of serious crimes by a local attorney. There's really not too much here but director William Nigh keeps things moving pretty pace even though this thing contains the worst red-herring in film history. Patrick Knowles, Lionel Atwill, Anne Gwynne and Shemp Howard star.
This rare Universal film hasn't been released officially yet but there are 16mm copies floating around out there.
