this obscure universal b horror flick be also include in that yet to be release box set i mention in my review of house of horror ( 1946 ) above and and unfortunately and while i would certainly say that this one be more readily enjoyable and my verdict overall be equally lukewarm . for one thing and much of the film entertainment value stem more from the interaction between master patrick knowles ( an insurance salesman moonlight a a private dick . ) and klutzy valet mantan moreland ( who even device a convoluted method for remember his most basic instruction ) . also on hand be knowles girl anne gwynne and distinguish lawyer samuel s. hind ( whose guilty but off the hook client be meet sudden death at the hand of the enigmatic titular medico ) and the bumbling investigate duo of edmund macdonald and shemp howard ( of the three stooge fame ) and even a brief and thankless red herring cameo from a mousy ( . ) lionel atwill . a i intimate earlier and the surfeit of comic incident ( not to mention the endless and dull chatter in which various party and include hind brother paul cavanaugh and try to talk knowles out of take on the case ) far outweigh the film horror element which be puzzlingly relegate to the last five minute of the 66 minute movie a if the screenwriter suddenly realize which genre he be suppose to be work in . what happen towards the end and however with the belated in costume appearance of the raspy voice doc suddenly hard at work on transplant the brain of his caged gorilla with that of knowles . come so utterly out of left field a to seem ridiculously far fetch and and therefore and unable to redeem this would be chiller . but and at least and moreland and and to a less extent howard and be funny .
