Radio review – Suspense - “The Doctor Prescribes Death” (1943) **1/2

Bela Lugosi’s accent limited him for radio work but he’s perfectly at home in this suspense tale, which sounds like the sort of film he make for Monogram: he’s a doctor who develops a theory that suicides are capable of murder, and when he’s laughed he sets about determined to prove his theory right. A lot of time is taken up by the adventures of one of the girls Bela is “experimenting” on rather than hi, but it’s still entertaining.
