Dr. Socrates (1935)
I don’t know how Paul Muni got roped into a B-picture when he was one of the brightest stars of the 1930s, but if you’re on a quest to watch all the wonderful Paul Muni performances in the world, feel free to skip Dr. Socrates.
Paul plays a doctor who treats a gangster, Barton MacLane, and becomes involved in his life. Before you start thinking it’s the original to Analyze This, it’s not. Barton may be a scary gangster who takes a liking to the meek doctor who stands up to him, and he may think a generous payment means the doctor should be at his beck and call, but this movie isn’t a comedy. It’s a low-budget, low-quality gangster movie that isn’t about gangsters. No one’s character is very interesting, and Paul isn’t given any scenes that show off his fantastic acting chops.
