The Patient in Room 18 (1938)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Bobby Connolly and Crane Wilbur
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Another fast moving Warner/First National mystery, this one set in a hospital. Patients are dying left and right, not from illnesses but a killer on the loose. Luckily detective Patrick Knowles is in for a stay to cure his sleepwalking. Ann Sheridan is his girlfriend and helps to solve the case, which revolves around some expensive radium which at the time was thought to be a curative.
