This is very strange that this kind of film, with such a plot, was directed by a western specialist, and a very prolific one: George Sherman. I would have never bet a dime that he gave such a film. He also gave us adventure, sword and sandal, war, dramas, but this one is not uninteresting. In the thirties, you also had hospital crime intrigues; such as Edward L Cahn's EMERCENGY CALL, and two years after this very one, which I review now, Lee Sholem made EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.... So this George Sherman movie is not bad at all, it is presented as a kind of expose, though not inspired by any events. A taut Universal thriller, very worth watching.
