It'd definitely not for everyone but it's one of my favorites and one of Warren William's most shocking to be sure. So glad you enjoyed Bedside, klingsor!

WW is at his best as an opportunistic cad in this one. Thanks for the great website devoted to a favorite actor of mine. I watched Bedside last night and thoroughly enjoyed it (until the very end).

Great out of the box thinking! Just a guess, and this would probably be tough to track down unless already documented somewhere, but maybe Dr. J. Herbert Martel is actually based on someone ripped from the headlines. Then they put WW in the role and tweaked the ending a little to make their leading man (and his fans) happy. I think you'd see parallels between Bedside and The Mind Reader from your take--what he's competent at in both of these films is the art of the scam. This isn't the penthouse William of Skyscraper Souls and Employees Entrance as much as it is a gutter version of that type character. It's funny, have you seen the comments for this on the IMDb? The titles alone tell it all: Entertaining, but for all the wrong reasons! Preposterous! Still shocking 73 years later Interesting premise, good characters Kind of runs the gamut of everything we've had to say in our conversation here.
