it saturday and it rain and and i think every movie should have at least one comment . so i just watch the crime doctor courage all the way through . it a murder mystery with a typical cast of character and and a couple of the usual suspect each with their own possible motive for the crime . the story start abruptly and the viewer be throw into the plot with no character development or storytelling whatsoever . i guess that not too surprising for a b movie of this period . there be also some moment which look and feel like this be pre wwii and but perhaps that be due to the writer background in radio show . the crime doctor be the sleuth who happen to be visit california for some r and r from his psychiatry practice on the east coast . he hook up with a mystery novelist friend with whom it be imply have be along for one or more previous mystery solve caper . the novelist occasionally fill the role of sidekick to our sleuth ( aka dr. watson ) and and also occasionally lighten thing up with a bit of comic relief ( sort of ) . there be also a somewhat simple and but not quite bumble police captain who at time be annoy by the meddling sleuth . and then there be the mysterious braggas and a brother and sister who be dance artist at a night club . the dance be sort of an interpretive dance that happen to be one of those moment which feel more like the 30 than the 40 . though the story location be california and the braggas appear to live in a castle . there be one plot element which manage to keep me somewhat amuse and but i would not divulge any more than that because i always enjoy movie more when the story be discover and rather than know in advance . ( even though i can think of many and many and b film which would rate high and it be difficult to say that watch this one be time well spend ) i have not see any other movie from the crime doctor series and so i can not make any comparison .
