[@jimmypeters]

The Crime Doctor series was made at Columbia Pictures. These films allowed veteran star Warner Baxter, who was in declining health, to work comfortably in what would be his final years. The director Eugene Forde had earlier done several of the Charlie Chan films when he worked at 20th Century Fox.

Nina Foch, Dutch born, American main actress,. In later years became an acting teacher. Met her when I managed a restaurant in Beverly Hills, Ca. She made so many films and television shows, Including "American In Paris" with Gene Kelly. Many of her parts were snotty or conniving ones.

[@2004mojo]

My favorite Nina Foch role is the executive secretary in the film "Executive Suite" (1954) . She didn't have a big part yet she stole the movie from the big guns, William Holden, June Allyson, Barbara Stanwyck, Fredric March, Walter Pidgeon, Shelley Winters & Louis Calhern , which got her the only acting nomination for the film here in the US. as Best Supporting Actress.

I love movies with extras like that in the film. Something out of the ordinary for the time period. I caught a movie by chance one night called" Dial 1119".(1950) . A film noir starring Marshall Thompson as a deranged escaped killer holding the customers of a bar hostage. The bar had a huge big screen tv hanging on the wall and the bartender pulled out a remote to change the channel. I'd watch repeat airings of the film just to see that tv again. I was really taken because this was long before today's big screen came on the scene.

[@2004mojo]

@Chapman Oh I love the set decor & accessories in those old films too. My very favorite is the film "When Ladies Meet" (1941) Most of the film takes place at a wealthy woman's renovated country house. Her decorator/friend is one of the characters and he has converted the barn area into a guest cottage. Everything chair, lamp, sofas etc make up a magazine layout. Really beautiful things and the curtains complete the picture!
