Dr. Broadway

Dr. Broadway is a 1942 American mystery film directed by Anthony Mann (as his directorial debut) and written by Borden Chase and Art Arthur.

The film stars Macdonald Carey, Jean Phillips, Eduardo Ciannelli, Richard Lane, J. Carrol Naish, Joan Woodbury and Arthur Loft.

[1][2] After foiling a phony suicide attempt by Connie Madigan, an aspiring actress seeking publicity by stepping onto a ledge, Dr. Tim Kane, who practices medicine in the Broadway district of New York City, vouches for her to keep Connie from being arrested and hires her as his assistant.

Vic ends up dead with rival racketeer Jack Venner trying to get his money, assisted by a woman pretending to be Margie.

I remember very warmly the cameraman, an oldtimer name of Spatkuhl, who had done many films for UFA and Lubitsch, and he was a great help.
