Magic Bullets Part 6

Description

This film dramatizes the work of Dr. Paul Ehrlich (portrayed by Edward G. Robinson) in developing a cure for syphilis in Germany about 1890.

Success came with the 606th test. The film was produced by Jack Warner, in cooperation with the Public Health Service, and directed by William Dieterle.
