...novel of that name in which the only two pleasant characters get hanged. As an absent-minded young doctor in a small English village, Paul Muni (with a phony English accent) has a chance to act in mufti for a change, instead of doing one of those great impersonations (Pasteur, Zola, Juarez) in which he is aided by overmetic-ulous makeup and fussy mimicry.

When the wife agrees to employ an Austrian...
...Cuban leper, his arm scarred and painfully ulcerated, was bitten by a poisonous tropical spider.
