THE DREAM DOCTOR is a British pseudo-documentary fiction shot directed by the delightfully-named Widgey R. Newman under a pseudonym. It's a little like the 1950s efforts DEATH IS A NUMBER and HANDS OF DESTINY in that it explores a mystical topic through recreated scenes and acts as an educational tool for the viewer. As a film, it's not up to much, although it does have a few elements of interest for fans of the era.
The film starts with a few staged scenes including the Biblical Joseph and a sequence set during the Siege of Lucknow. After that point we move into the realms of dream analysis in which a couple of actors discuss the meanings of various dream and nightmare elements; how much you believe depends on your mindset. It's all very superficial although it does have a few basic camera tricks to enliven things. The most astonishing thing about it is the extremely racy attire worn by one of the women, a dress which is basically cut down to the stomach, something I didn't expect from 1936.
