So many movies ... so little time ...
On this day in 1939 (in the U.S.), the good people of New York City, New York were treated to an exclusive theatrical premiere engagement of The Return Of Doctor X. Directed by Vincent Sherman from a story by Lee Katz and William J. Makin, the film starred Rosemary Lane, Wayne Morris, Humphrey Bogart, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"A hotshot reporter and a young doctor team up to investigate a series of grisly murders and a mysterious sample of synthetic blood."
For the record:
At the 2007 Saturn Awards, The Return Of Doctor X was included as part of an all-hew home video release -- The Hollywood Legends Of Horror Collection (issued by Warner Archive) -- that received a nomination in the category of 'Best DVD Collection.'
Editor's Note:
Purists can assure you that The Return Of Doctor X (1939) is only a sequel to 1932's Doctor X in name only. Otherwise, the film is an entirely new story that producers sought to cash in on the popularity of an original by suggesting a kinda/sorta comeback.
