Review
"As far as mysteries go, Calling Dr. Death was not that mysterious and it could be chalked up to the passage of time for making it so. When the film was released in 1943 it might have been fresh and original yet going on seventy years later it just tended to be a little clichéd. For all its faults of which that was the biggest, the film did manage to captivate with Chaney excelling as the downtrodden and confused doctor." - Geoff Rosengren, The Telltale Mind
