Bullet Scars (1942)


Warner Bros
Directed by D. Ross Lederman
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Gangsters hire local country doctor Regis Toomey to take care of their mortally wounded partner. Toomey, oblivious to what's really going on, keeps him alive and falls in love with his nurse at the same time, who also happens to be the victim's sister. When the truth finally comes out he manages to sneak a message to the town pharmacist leading to a police shoot out for the big finale. Zippy Warner crime entry, but let down by a predictable plot, poor acting, particularly Adele Longmire as the nurse and interminable "comic" relief by character actor Ben Welden as "Pills Davis".
