An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Doctor Socrates, the 1935 William Dieterle medical doctor crime thriller ("With the deadliest weapons known to science he fought a thousand killers!"; about a prominent doctor who is forced to help gangsters, and they try to make him their regular physician, but he injects them with a drug that makes them temporarily blind!) starring Paul Muni (in the title role as "Dr. Socrates"), Ann Dvorak, Barton MacLane, Robert Barrat, John Eldredge, Hobart Cavanaugh, and Helen Lowell. Note that Warner Bros. remade this movie just four years later as "King of the Underworld", with Kay Francis playing a female doctor, and surprisingly, there was very little difference between the two movies, even though the lead was now a female! Also, this pairing of Paul Muni and director William Dieterle would prove incredibly successful, because they would go on to make The Story of Louis Pasteur, Juarez, and The Life of Emile Zola together, some of Muni's most successful films!
