Warner Baxter career was cut short by a tragic illness which caused him horrific pain. He was an incredible actor Winning an Oscar and was in the same League of talents as William Powell and Ronald Colman. He Passed away too young in 1951.
That is so sad. I love watching him as Dr. Ordway.
Sad, indeed
Best actor of the 20centuey
Warner Baxter excels in his role of Doctor Ordway in the "Crime Doctor" series. Thank you so much for sharing this fine motion picture.
Nice to see men look elegant and dignified, speaking with clear enunciation. Hard to find these qualities in modern movies.
You can thank Political Correctness and 'wokeism' for that. Today there has to be a designated number of non-Whites and a female lead in order to have a 'proper' movie. And don't forget the sexual deviate (GLBQTX,etc).
Warner Baxter wow what an actor.i was born in 1951.😢😢😢😢 cant get enough of his films .hes such a good looking man and a great smile.such a sad loss and so young.thankyou sir R.I.P.❤
I have really enjoyed all of these movies; it packs a lot of action in barely over one hour.
Well written plot and fine acting all the way around. Thank you for this fine mystery movie.
Warner Baxter underwent a lobotomy as a last-ditch effert to ease chronic pain from arthritis, he died of pneumonia at 62.
William Castle really explores style,. mood, pacing, and his quirky sense of human relations in the early movies. Another winner.
Hmmmmmmm
Iove the crime doctor! Only one who can be in a fight with his hat on and still have it on when it’s over
Mike 🔨 as well😆
You must watch old Republic serials to see he wasn't the only one.
Serials and old Western movies when they get into a fight they never lose their hats. It must be a superstition or bad luck to lose their hats.
Hey:) what about Indy - Indiana Jones????
@@constantinadellopoulou3725 Maybe they all wore hair pieces. - I know John Wayne sure did - almost completely bald. Per hats also, perhaps they were an identifying feature when the fights got intense: probably doubles standing in for the actors.
Warner Baxter is always a delight to see and watch one of his good movies. I have always thought he was a very good looking man
Truthful too
Thinly veiled
Looks don’t matter
Character matters
That’s ALL that matters
Ted Bundy was a good looking
Just discovered this series and how much fun! Another radio drama to add to my listening pleasure. Thank you for sharing these oldies and goodies!
Christian's. I too. I was totally blind about this series and now it's become a favorite in the so called "lock down"
@@sherrihinton8567 flu deaths are also way down = masks.
Thank you.
Another great crime video.
God blesd
Good, well thought out stories. I wonder if anyone involved thought they would be enjoyed this many years later.
Another enjoyable adventure for The Crime Doctor. Thanks for posting.
I’m rewatching these and I’m so sorry there aren’t aren’t more. Thanks so much. Love these films. :)
Loved this movie! Thanks for posting
Damn, that dance was one of the most offensive things I've seen in a long time.
I'm a healthy adult male, and I've always considered that 'the Apache dance' was degrading to women.
I just found out about the Crime Doctor films, and I love them! This will be my 6th, 4 more to go. Thanks for the upload.
watching this from France is sheer joy...merci, DD!

That means being free of man’s restrictions so you can follow the Holy Spirit, whole-heartedly.
What is great is that even the prisoners in France will speak English, knowing the Doc is from NY.
Well, we could hardly have a movie otherwise. - At least all of the accents were consistent. (So many movies feature actors with accents that float in and out.) Also, the actor at the end for example, with the bedpan, he was really French.
@@gailjarvis2592 You mean like Americans who can never pull off _any_ foreign accent, and can't even speak English with any degree of fluency?
@@TAROTAI You pretty well nailed it right there. Sad to say, but Americans are living in a politically-correct backwater, what with the incoming foreign hordes and the breakdown of society as such. Oy, I tell ya, Tarotai, tinks are going to Hell in a handbasket, for the god's sek, already yet. Sotch a de4al.
Perfect!?
Ordway, don't complain about not being able to enjoy your vacas when you keep going to places where you have friends on the force. STOP GOING THERE.
😂😂😂
I like how the French people never speaks French in France even to themselves.
Who'd WANT to?
En effet, les Français pourraient parler français entre eux, mais il aurait fallu que ces dialogues soient sous-titrés en américain pour la compréhension des spectateurs américains.
It must be the medication I am on; I have no idea what this plot was about as it was all so confusing. I marvel at the minds of the original audiences and those who made comments below and I have no appointment to see my doctor for the foreseeable future.
Omg those dancers/acrobats were amazing! Totally love this Dr. Crime series..but those dancers. What a treat these old movies are. Thank you Wow✌
They used to be called “Apache” dancers and were once all the rage in Paris.
Why do you have use an acronym that is the same as mocking God?
@@QueenBee-gx4rp
thank you for that info i will look them up. i just thought they were so cool. Some great entertainment in a smokey little cafe/nightclub. ✌
@@larrywhited3070 Why do you have to whine? Grow up.
I'm extremely grateful to you for putting the video on. It had all the factors that make a very intriguing movie, so enjoyable
Thank you DDC, love these old B&W movies.
Many Blessings 🙏🇺🇸
The villains black hat and coat, reminds me of the spy in the old MAD magazine. :-)
I was a teenager in the '50s and an avid Mad Magazine reader. I remember the spies well. Hadn't thought of them for many decades until you mentioned them.
Thank you very much for uploading this this perfect vintage detective! Warmly recomend it to everybody!

@Karter Stanley Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Karter Stanley it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Forrest Willie no problem xD
This is truly a great movie and the background music is fantastic. Thanks so much for uploading this.
So same painting of the women was in this movie AND Dr's Warning. The male model is now the knife thrower. I love seeing these people and items in different movies. Makes the movies more personal.
In the 30s, 40s they had character actors that appeared often in film after film. After the 50s, most character actors disappeared. Now I believe there are none, they instead take well known top Stars and cast them into those parts, with make up , clothes and way of talking.
Crime Doctor can never marry because his sicko wife continually breaks them up..... yet again
eveyholmes he should FIGht for his desires
eveyholmes blackmail is ugly and evil
Birth certificate
Don’t hide the truth
It changes everything
Love the Ordways - still in class and dignity in behavior and deportment - still the 40s and before - the world had not been completely transformed yet.
Had me guessing all the way till the end , good movie 👍👍🇺🇸

(About discerning good from evil.)
Rleased on my 3rd birthday! A nice birthday gift, 74 years late.
Thanks for another good movie.
he looks like actor Ronald Colman 🤔😁,,watching from Florida USA. thanks.
Baxter also looks like italian actor Marcello Mastroianni, who has almost the same face and the same voice.
A great clear print 🎥😉
CLEAR
MANY available.
And how do you choose ?
loved this one DD THANK`S very much.
I am thoroughly enjoying the Crime Doctor series. This one was released a couple of years after WW2 ended, and the world was re-fascinated with all things French.
I can’t help but wonder if the French folk became a little weary of being portrayed as over-acted, over-emotional, over-romantic… over there.
Very much so ! Over and over.
Yes, that's true, especially among Americans who affect European manners and try to emulate the wimpy language, the adultery, and the lack of personal hygiene.

Another very fine film with Warner Baxter is called "Adam Had Four Sons" 1941.
Thanks!
Anyone else noticed the similarity of the theme music of the Crime Doctor series and that of the Indiana Jones franchise, Someone once said originality was often unconscious plagiarism .

In case you were wondering about the dance at 5.:25 and 31:05 Apache, or La Danse Apache, Bowery Waltz, Apache Turn, Apache Dance and Tough Dance is a highly dramatic dance associated in popular culture with Parisian street culture at the beginning of the 20th century. In fin de siècle Paris young members of street gangs were labelled Apaches by the press because of the ferocity of their savagery towards one another, a name taken from the native North American indigenous people, the Apache. Thus the name of the dance is pronounced as the French pronounce it ah-PAHSH. It is not pronounced uh-PATCH-ee which is the English language pronunciation.
The dance is sometimes said to reenact a violent "discussion" between a pimp and a prostitute. It includes mock slaps and punches, the man picking up and throwing the woman to the ground, or lifting and carrying her while she struggles or feigns unconsciousness. Thus, the dance shares many features with the theatrical discipline of stage combat. In some examples, the woman may fight back.
@Gypsy Lily. In another film, Charlie Chan in Paris 1935, a similar dance with some variations is shown. Thank you for the interesting info on how it originated.
@@marks9820 The original Dirty Dancing.
Thanks for the background. I have been curious what the dance was called. Rather violent, dark.
@@owlfethurz8377 It is the dance of a prostitute and pimp. Love/hate

there is nothing like the oldies. Look at the way they dress up. The men always with hats, the way they dress to eat, ties and suits everyday and the women well dressed with hats, gloves, stockings, makeup and the cars OMG THOSE BEAUTIFUL ELEGANT GORGEOUS CARS. The only thing I dislike is everytime men and women with a cigarette in their mouths or hands. thanks lots for these beautiful movies, good acting , actors and actresses at their best.
An anti-smoker? Wouldn't you be so happy if you could micro-manage everyone's lives?
It's like an eye massage. Watching black and white. Sometimes, I need the color correction just for a rest
Remember that the real world has always been in Technicolor.
I like the way Paris is portrayed in this movie. A place destined for happiness.
And today it's full of foreigners and the streets are full of dog excrement.
Not anymore.
French style is often an interesting mix of simplicity plus high quality details and components. (Attractive to me) Possibly this characteristic is overlooked by those attempting to imitate.
The credits say this was taken from a "Radio Program".
Which station? I can imagine the actors' voices dramatically reading their lines. 👏
Thinly veiled....again
For some, deceit, lies and hurtful actions are just a way of life. The more they hurt innocent people, the more powerful the feel. Dear God, let them become loving Human Beings.
Put down your Bible----and your violin----and join the rest of us in the real world.
While watching this series it dawned on me that the women hardly ever wear glasses (for being near-sighted). That means that when they show a lot of women in parties, etc., you just don't see these lovely women wearing glasses. I guess it was due to vanity, just like some women nowadays will only wear contact lenses.
You do see, however, an occasional man who wears a spectacle in one of his eyes.
This series is one of the best I've ever seen, and with Covid keeping us online more, we get to see how people used to live and communicate with each other. I'm not sure we can generalize to how ALL people were at that time, since the main characters in most of these old shows are often well-educated and seem to be rich and/or have exalted jobs..
We men with failing eyesight sided eArly. People didn’t live long lives

Trolls
The crime doctor series. When I watch this I forget I am watching a movie. Everything looks real.
A wonderful who done it movie
These tight little murder mysteries are great, Warner Baxter is perfect for the role.
Great movie labrynthine plot twists.
I like this Crime Doctor. Remind me of English detectivstories
TS 5:59 dance dance dance & TS 6:20
Thinly veiled abuse and violent porn
May be English was most spoken not french
I never understood the appeal of that "Apache" 💃 👯♂️ dance.
It stinks.
Look you don't have to kill hundreds to make a good movie
Most do
What's wrong with killing hundreds? YOU'RE no fun.
@@leelarson107 Oh nothing wrong I'm just not used to it, didn't think they made movies like that:)
17:50 - Was that Inspector Clouseau?!! I could swear that's Peter Sellers!
Lol, I thought so to, but they all made it though the door with no problem
The stash of the Crichton.
Hmmm…
In a beginning scene, in the Parisian-cafe ‘La Coq Rouge’, the Dance being performed reminded Me much of Swing-Dancing - to different music.
So, did Swing originate in France/Paris?
(I wonder!)
Wonderful intriguing film, will have to give it a 2nd watch soon. Warner Baxter character reminds me of Ronald Coleman... apparently he emulated Coleman and patterned his acting and style after his mentor....
Poor Dr Ordway always keeps getting hit in the head.😂😂
That knife throwing reminds me of Les's "The Fairly Inaccurate Knife Thrower" 😂😂😂
APACHE ! a dance which should come back!!
The only dance where a man beats up and abuse his dance partner.
They'll bring it back with huge tattooed women tossing dainty soy boys around by their hair. The ugly truth.
Be the one that does just THAT! Bring the Apache Dance BK.
Art but not reality
Voice of experience
@@MichaelGunner123 I wish they would bring it back women dont know what a really manly maybe I am a masochist but alway crazy about that wild dance
My long-married spouse and I have a sort of verbal Apache every three weeks or so. Verbal.
Lovely< that made me laugh.
David Cockerill Apache isn’t as funny when you live it.
And verbal hurts as much as ear surgery
Get out NOW
I’m starting a new life. Built on truth.....as always TRUTH
Huh ??
Gurlitt collection
Baxter born 1889, died 1951.
really great.
Lol.
A typical manic depressive?
Nothing was said to point to that.
4:00 in those days you always wore a monkey suit to expensive nightclubs.
The dance at the beginning is called the Apache, pronounced "a-pash" in French. It is a stylised story of a violent relationship. The one shown here is a toned down version. It was popular for over the first half of the last century. Probably it was associated with criminal gangs called the Apaches which appeared at the beginning of the 20th.
this one’s a good one. much fun. thanks.
the dance the two are doing where the girl is thrown around by the boy was very popular into the ‘50’s as i saw them around ten or eleven. of course, i thought they were so French and would always be danced. as kids we have very little awareness of trends. the girl’s used to wear small square scarves knotted around their neck, and i picked up the style which i still love. (i think American girls in the middle ‘50’s wore them, too. one of the Scooby-Doo detectives wore one, if i remember. But there are a number of styles i’m so glad are Not around anymore though - ugh!).
anyway, a really good film :) 🎬🌷🌱
and as W.C. Fields would have said, “Ah, yes, the old foot warmer thinga mabob. ah, yes.” :)
I read that the Hollywood actor who made the most total money in the decade of 1930's was Warner Baxter. He was a big star in 1930 and through the whole decade. An astute businessman, he signed some big contracts. Kind of just a matter of luck because some stars of 1930 died or retired during the decade and some giant stars of 1939 were not started yet in the early 30's.
33 min Dr Ordway takes the name Anton Chigur ,the name similar to the character in no country for old men.
What is the background music when the knife thrower scene is on?...Does anyone know the music?
watched
💖💖💖👍👌
Thank You for sharing this!
THOUGHT IT WAS
DIRTY DANCING i WAS WATCHING 😁 WTF LOL
Weed Me
That's called Apache (pronounced "apassh" and the male and female feminists will be shocked that it has traditionally (I'm sure they have outlawed it now) been considered a classic dance symbolizing not only the conflict between males and females, but the dominant and submissive aspect of their characters. In each apache, the woman is voraciously attracted and submissive to the man that brutalizes her. Sorry kids, but that was the way it was, and the French understood it. (Say, isn't there a theory today about how "Creeps" (a nice word) attract women more than good guys?
La Danse Apache, La Apache was the name in France for the criminal underworld during the early years of the twentieth century.
