THE MAD DOCTOR (1940). Basil Rathbone (looking a lot like Tom Conway with his mustache) plays a variation of his role from LOVE FROM A STRANGER, using illusion and deception for financial gain. Title is truly misleading, but TMD is worth a look if not expecting much. Good support from lovely Ellen Drew (MONSTER AND THE GIRL, ISLE OF THE DEAD) and Ralph Morgan (NIGHT MONSTER, WEIRD WOMAN, THE MONSTER MAKER). Also has Martin Kosleck (THE FLESH EATERS, PURSUIT TO ALGIERS, HOUSE OF HORRORS); his relationship with Basil in here is a little suspect and would have been interesting to see it explored in more detail. **
