The Amazing Dr Clitterhouse (1938)

As I had just recently discovered Edward Robinson, and was not only amazed at his performance but also surprised to find that he had worked in an number of films with Humphrey Bogart.  This film seemed especially odd, as I had never even heard of it's existance and it's rather odd title.  Is Clitterhouse an actual family name??

This film was amazing to watch as it was a completely different character for Edward Robinson, and to see him and Humphrey Bogart essentially switch roles from the film Key Largo.  Edward Robinson plays such a refined and well spoken doctor, it's hard to believe that he is the same actor who practically created the persona of 30's gangsters.
