Two astounding confessions that spilt a stunned world into angry arguing factions.. highlight this strange story of a physician who, apparently violates his most sacred oath

G.orla

Stuare, Robert Kent Henry Armetta, J. Edward Brom- berg, Sera Haden and Alan Dine- hart head the cast of this front- page drama, and their exceptional performances are said to enhance the tension and suspense that exists throughout, reaching 1 climax in the totally unexpected denquement..

Produced by Executive Producer So M. Wurtzel, "The Crime of Dr. Forbes" was directed by George Marshall from an original screen story by Frances Hyland and Saul E xins.

She out-topsied Tapay she danced with carefree abandon played music that vibrated like jungle drums. She sang and scampered leaped and laughed like an imp on the golden stair as she pre- sented the gay number, "Galivan- t'n Around."
