The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse
CrimeDrama87 minWatch trailer
A wealthy Park Avenue doctor turns crime into a research project, joining a band of jewel thieves so he can study the psychology of criminal behavior from the inside. Edward G. Robinson is Dr. Clitterhouse, whose clinical curiosity and social polish make him an increasingly strange fit in the underworld even as he starts taking control of the gang. Humphrey Bogart is the outfit’s original leader, watching his authority slip away and his suspicion harden. Claire Trevor threads through the clash between high-society manners and backroom robbery, as the film pits medical reasoning against gangster paranoia.
