CALLING DR DEATH (1943). While the openings of the INNER SANCTUM's creeped me out at 10-11 (the guy in the Crystal Ball), even then I felt the films weren't all that impressive and as a Geeezer getting close to 60
, it's even more difficult to watch them.
Love Lon Chaney JR and know He was put in the IS series for Marquee Value, but he is just not convincing as an Intellectual/ Babe Magnet. The endless voice overs and self flaggelation just add to the overall mediocrity.
Decent cast helps a little with harrassing J Carroll Naish (HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE MAD MONSTER), Fay Helm (THE WOLF MAN, CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN, NIGHT MONSTER), Ramsay Ames (THE MUMMY'S GHOST), David Bruce (THE MAD GHOUL) and lovely Patricia Morison (DRESSED TO KILL, HITLER'S MADMAN and much Broadway) who is the only reason You might want to watch this. *1/2
