It is great watching these movies, far more entertaining than what is being thrown at audiences on free to air. Bring back entertainment with this type of drama.

Ray Collins was a real good actor. i remember him as Lt. Tragg. all those actors will always be the people in Perry Mason. i loved that show. Raymond Burr was full of charm and had that twinkle in his eye. had a crush on Paul Drake (who was Hedda Hopper’s son :) Della was charming, too. Mason couldn’t have gotten along without her :) Hamilton Burger was played by William Talman. When i was about twelve, he made one of those public announcement ads the networks put on for free. he was dying of lung cancer and told us very seriously not to smoke. he was why i, and i’m sure many others, didn’t smoke. i’ll never forget that ad! what a standup guy! 🌹🌱🥀

Warner Baxter is 1st class, a true gentleman, class with a capital A. I am hooked, watching all 10 episodes again on my tv. Thank you for sharing this outstanding series. First class acting, no bs, like in today’s movies. I am 72 year’s young, loving these classic noir movies.

Oh, I really love all of these Dr. Ordway Crime Doctor movies, with that handsome Warner Baxter in them !!! I can watch them over and over and never get bored !!!

Warner Baxter gives such natural, comfortable performances. I really enjoy him in the Crime Doctor series. Many thanks for posting.

Really great movie. thanks for showing this, I'd never seen these movies until a week or two ago.

This was my sixth episode. I really wish these 'Crime Doctor' movies had been labelled in chronological order. Other than the Rockford Files, I NEVER watch cop, or private eye shows, but this series is so well done that it hooked me from the first episode I saw.

I have been watching some of the other movies in this series so I was a bit puzzled in the beginning of this one until I looked this one up and found out that this was the first one of the series and gave us the back story of Dr. Ordway. After watching this movie for a while, I remembered having watched it before but not knowing that there were other movies that followed. This is what happens when you reach 68 years old, as I am..LOL..!! I appreciated this movie more than the first time I watched it because I knew what this first movie led to. Thanks, D D, for giving us this one.

After 13:30, my favorite part: the beautiful exchange between Baxter & Collins. It has a crackle that reminds me of a Pre Code picture. One can't sit two of today's screen stars in front of a camera for that long without CGI and fancy cutting to help them out.

I am 72! Never watched these in past but love to now!

Love the crime Doctor movies. Thanks

I too was confused watching this one as ive watched 5 of the later shows. Great back story!

I like thriller movies and came across these few of which this is my first one to watch so thanks for uploading all of them

At least I got to see how you became a doctor and his past, Who would’ve thought ! What a great twist

What a great series, thank you so much.

Best ordway I've seen yet. It must be the first or the beginning of the crime doctor. Thank you for the movies ❤

I had never seen these before. Thanks for finding them. Really very good! I love mysteries.

Probably the best actor during the time.

Very enjoyable thank you so much for putting it on

Great movie. I enjoy watching the crime doctor movies. Thanks for posting 🙂

What a great movie. I watched the line of Crime Doctor movies before realizing this last one I watched was the first episode. I had no idea from the other episodes that he had had amnesia. I always wondered why through the whole series he never dated a women or had a love interest? Just the first episode? He was a handsome man and I thought the films would have been more interesting with some women involved with him. But I LOVED the series!

VERY interesting to see the first in the series if Crime Doctor movies!!! They are usually excellent n keep my attention throughout the entire movie. I've on ly seen 4 of them but will continue to watch them with great relish!!! Thanks for posting this first one so I can now try n watch them in some sort of order!!!

Great series great cast of actors

Great movie thanks so much 🙂

A real nail biter!!! great movie - Warner Baxter is excellent in this role - as the sophisticated psychiatrist with a soft spot for convicts who can reform. ****Spoiler!!! the other person does surface and there is a difference. For seconds you see it,but then it totally disappears and Dr. Ordway wins - it’s almost like he’s buried a “split personality” (as it used to be called). very well acted and directed film. thanks for these movies. they’re so ‘40’s, i love it.

a great movie series.

These are wonderful

The part of the movie where the men are marching and exercising reminds me of the movie The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen and many other stars. A sad, true story. So sad was the last cruelty committed when the prisoners who had escaped with their lives were told that they could get out of the truck 🛻 and take a break and then shot down in cold blood 🩸. 🥺🥺🥺

Tragg finally wins a case

These movies are not bad. I had not heard of them until recently.

Wonderful!

Margaret Lindsay started as a B actress and worked herself up to major movie roles and starred with top actors of that time. She never married and lived with her female life partner for many years.

In his prison garden [at 31:58], Dewey Robinson [inmate Fritzy], complains of being needled with the name “Ferdinand.” That term arose from Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild's passion for gardening.

THAT... Was A Swell Movie!

Great movies loved them so much I bought the 10 dvd's

John Litel as the bad guy? Now, that's a switch. He was always Mr. Respectability in everything he did.

Whew. Another great video. Wonder. Did Morgan get his name legally changed? Thanks again. God bless

Warner Baxter is God's best kept secret. Such a gentleman!

1943 in this movie they honored and loved the flag they took pride and being American and loving America and look what's done today just saying

Such fun!!

Back in those days, they could cram 6 people or more in their small vehicles!

Give prisoners guns and Military Training and wall scaling obstacle courses. What could go wrong. Lol.

That reminds me of the cartoon book titled Geech. He was asked if he had any brothers and he said he had 4, Tom, Joe, Bill and 7&3/4. He said his folks ran out of names so they just pulled one out of the hat 🧢. 😅😅

39:00--respect for the flag--even women--nothing like that these days, what a shame

I love. The. Old. Cars. An. House. I. Love them. Thay. Are. So. Antic

Just wait until you get to be 79 like I’ll be on the 10th of this month. Y’all are just still young sprouts. 😅😅👵🏻👵🏻

We'd call this "prequel!"

Heckle&Jyde comes clean. 👍

Yeah every prison should give they're prisoners rifles. That really would set a good example

OMG, would you get those wild, thick and unbelievably bushy eye-brows on that inmate thats cutting the bush. You could take a lawn mower to them, to cut them down to size!!! I swear they have to be about 3 inches thick !!!!

This is my 3rd time watching this movie. Warner Baxter is a favorite. I dont like her. Margaret Lindsay. Always too pushy for me. Leon Ames, a real treat when he pops up. John Litel first time I saw him as an out and out tough guy. Ray Collins, always good.

How many of these movies about Dr. Ordway are there?

They don't make nurses like that anymore...

Valise! Valise! Valise! 😂😅😊

Prisoners with rifles? Hopefully they didn't have bullets

I confess. I am Phil Morgan.

👍🥰👍

sound tooo low

In what state can a judge grant clemency? 🤔

I've discovered about 50 percent of the population is stupid..It would be a blessing to forget certain dilemmas. It's possibly why some joined the French Foreign Legion

Colgate was First college THEn Rutgers third.

Stop giving away the plot... for people who have not seen these the first time...please....

What do those three guys do for a living.? They need a job of some kind to stay a live & pay their room & board, or maybe their two story guys.?

That nurse looks and acts as if she belongs in a bachelor party, not a hospital.

Where did Black folks come from? The only time you might see them is as a House Maid, Or as Shoe Shine Boy, or a Rail Road Worker.

Lots of hackneyed writers come up with dip-dunk amnisia plots. They all stink!

Both Warner Baxter and Ray Collins were 54 when this film was released. Margaret Lindsay was 33. I guess Warner could get the "babes" - at least in the movies anyway!
