DR EHRLICH'S MAGIC BULLET.
Edward G Robinson & Ruth Gordon,
Montague Love, Donald Crisp, Henry O Neill.
Dir: William Dieterle, 1940, Warner Bros.

SYNOPSIS:
Not in any way a gangster flick but must be included because it's so odd. A psychadelic title two decades before the hippies and a plot about the search for a cure for venereal disease featuring the fabulously named acting talents of Montague Love.

"There isn't a man or a woman alive who isn't afraid of syphilis. Let them know that a little kike named Ehrlich tamed the scourge, and maybe they can persuade their hoodlum friends to keep their fists off Ehrlich's co-religionists."
- Norman Burnstine, the film's writer.

REVIEWS:
"A superb motion picture."
- Pare Lorentz.
"Exellent period bio-pic. Absorbing, convincing and extremely well put together."
- Leslie Halliwell.
