Dr. Broadway (1942)

A hot-shot Manhattan physician (Macdonald Carey) known as Dr. Broadway knows everyone under the bright lights of the Great White Way ... and they know him! When a gangster (Eduardo Ciannelli) just released from prison contacts him to do a favor, he soon finds himself up to his neck in murder and thievery. Directed by Anthony Mann (EL CID) in his directorial debut. A low budget pseudo Runyonesque tale notable for being Mann's directorial debut. It's a zippy little movie that Mann keeps moving along but the movie needed a more charismatic leading man than the bland Macdonald Carey to hold it together. Everybody has to start somewhere and this was a decent enough beginning for Mann though one would never guess how far he would go based on this outing. With Jean Phillips, Joan Woodbury, J. Carrol Naish, Gerald Mohr and Richard Lane.
